Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

This may sound like a stupid question, but it's helpful in buying yarn to be able to figure out how thick a piece of yarn is in order to compare it to another yarn and replace the yarn that's called for in a pattern. (And I know weavers have a different systelm of classifying the yarn with one number over another, but that's another question). The label will say something like this
150 yds [137m]/1 oz
But another yarn may only give yardage and grams
123 yards/50 grams
They are talking about the weight, right? And the grams are metric?
How do I convert these measurements again? These two yarns aren't equivalent weights, right?
The second yarn would be about 216 yards/ 1 oz, right?
