| Many balls of yarn sold for knitting are in grams. 50 grams equals 1 3/4 ounce. Here are some conversions between grams and ounces. More metric conversions are in the Appendix of my Book #1, “Winding a Warp & Using a Paddle”. |

| From: “Handbook of Timesving Tables for Weavers, Spinners and Dyers” by Bettie G. Roth and Chris Schulz, PO Box 951, Elk Grove, CA 95759-0951In my Book #1, “Winding a Warp and Using a Paddle” and the new book, Weaving for Beginners, I have a chapters on planning a project and calculating how much yarn you’ll need for warp and weft. There is a worksheet which I copy and use when I start thinking about a project. Perhaps I use several sheets with different versions until I decide just what I want to do with the amount of yarn I have on hand. |
