Does anyone know what weight this is??

Hiiiiiii!!!

So, my Grandma just gave me some yarn cause she does plastic canvas (which is like a plastic board w/ holes and you take yarn in a needle and pull it in and out to make a picture or you can bend it to make a box or smth)
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew the possible weight of this yarn from looking at these pictures???





  • Weight 1
  • Weight 2
  • Weight 3
  • Weight 4
  • Weight 5
  • Weight 6
  • Other (tell me in the comments)

You could try using wraps per inch to work out how thick it is:

For hook size, I would make a swatch to test it and if the fabric is too holey then make another swatch with a smaller hook.

So for like clothes I would probably do a 4-5mm but then for amigurumi I like using a 2.5mm just because I like tight stitches (I mainly use weight 4 so if you have any questions feel free to ask :slightly_smiling_face:)

I ususally use a 4mm hook to 3.5 mm hook when making amigurumi or a 5mm hook to make non amigurumi.
