Yarn Class
Yarn Slang explained (skein, ball, hank, cake), How to use a Yarn Swift and Ball Winder, and How to calculate yards used on a knit or crochet project. Take our starter Yarn Class here. Watch the yarn class 101 video below. Be sure to grab some scratch paper to help you figure out how much yarn you need for a project or check the math for something you have recently made to help confirm what the video talks about.
I recommend purchasing an inexpensive gram scale that can switch between ounces and grams. Personally I use grams for weighing because it seems to be the most precise. I got my scale at a local office supply store for under $25 USD.
