Terms of Use

Last updated: September 23, 2026

Using this site

This site is a free reference tool for converting yarn weights, gauges, and thread sizes. You're welcome to use it for personal or commercial craft projects.

Accuracy

We source what we can from the Craft Yarn Council's published standard and label clearly where a figure is a community convention instead. Even so, actual yarn gauge varies by brand, fiber, and individual tension — always swatch before starting a project. We provide this tool as-is, without a guarantee that every number will match every yarn you use.

No liability for project outcomes

We're not responsible for a project turning out differently than expected because of a substitution, gauge mismatch, or yardage estimate made using this site.

Content ownership

The site's design and written content belong to us. The underlying yarn weight standard itself belongs to the Craft Yarn Council — we link to their published standard rather than claim it as our own.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes. Continuing to use the site after an update means you accept the current version.
