Hello, beautiful soul! Welcome!
If you’re new to the yarn world, I know different yarn weights (thicknesses) can be confusing. We’re not talking about how much the yarn weighs on a scale; we’re talking about how thick the strand is. This is referred to as the yarn weight.
You can have various yarn weights – like lace weight, fingering weight, sport weight, dk weight, worsted weight, chunky weight, bulky weight, super bulky weight, etc.
In this video, I show you examples of those different weights and what that means for you when deciding on projects.
Have a watch:

P.S. Here is even more information for you on this subject if you’re interested!
I used to crochet doilies and tablecloths with lace weight. I now know how to knit. Does lace weight come in speckled colorways? I really would love to knit a lace weight speckled shawl for the warmer months here in Texas. Thank you Chandi for your tutorials. 😊
Chandi,
Thank you so much for this post as it is very helpful to know the different yarn weights when you are planning a project and purchasing yarns to create. I appreciate your dedication and love learning from you. Keep up the great work!
Great info!
Chandi,
Thank you so much! Since I am a beginner I am absorbing everything and want to know everything!😄 You have been my go to since I started crocheting. Your videos are wonderful.

Thank you for the updates. What I’d like to know always is how much I need for a crochet project. Your yarns are beautiful and I love working with them.
Great question. We should have a video explaining that in the near future! : )
Hi Chandi.
Do your lace weight yarns come in speckled colorways? Thank you.
We do have speckled color ways in Lace. : )
Love your yarn! My favorite music is new country
Thank you! What about Aran weight?
Such beautiful fibers. I would so much love to win! I’m a yarnaholic.
Thank you for the tutorials.
Great basic info. Thank you. I still consider myself a new-ish knitter (barely 3 yrs now). I have a toddler sock pattern, which calls for DK weight & of course since they’re for toddlers w/ a really busy mom (no time for handwashing & special care), it needs to be Super-wash. I’m wondering, too, if there’s much difference between Sport & DK for a project like socks or will have to size-up my needles or sock size (& watch my gauge, of course) to arrive at a smaller size?
You will probably will have to adjust. And, like you were saying, watch your gauge. ❤️
Hi. Just wondering the difference between resilient and sincere sock. Thanks
It is fiber content that makes up the difference. Resilient is 100% superwash merino wool and Sincere Sock is 75% superwash merino wool and 25% nylon. The Resilient is twisted a little more than the Sincere, so it is a little more bouncy. Hope this helps!
