Baby weight - 1 oz. = 170 - 175 yards
Sport weight - 1 oz. = 90 - 100 yards
Worsted weight or 4 ply - 1 oz. = 50 yards
Bulky weight - 1 oz = 30 - 35 yards

Did you know that if you just need a small amount of a color of yarn that you can put 2 strands of baby yarn together to make 1 strand of sports weight and 2 strands of sport weight to make one strand of worsted weight? Try it when you're in a pinch or when you just don't want to buy that extra skein.

Make a copy of the pattern you are going to use. Then you can make all the notes on it you want and still keep your leaflets like new.
