Free Craft Tip: Yarn Weight Classifications

The yarn weight classification does not refer to how much a yarn "weighs" but is a standard designation for the size (diameter) of the yarn. The yarn weight required for a project and the amount of yarn needed to complete a project is specified in the project instructions. Yarn weight classification is a number and/or name assigned to yarn in the following designations:

1 or Super Fine (sock, baby and fingering yarn)

2 or Fine (baby and sport yarn)

3 or Light (light worsted and DK yarn)

4 or Medium (worsted, afghan and Aran yarn)

5 or Bulky (chunky, craft and rug yarn)

6 or Super Bulky (roving and bulky yarn)
