Thank you.

Yarns about the thickness of 4/8 worsted yarn.
4/8 worsted was so common in the first half of the twentieth
century that knitting worsted was the only label needed.

Hi Lindy,
Thanks for the chart. I always have trouble deciding on what weight yarn to
use when I am converting English patterns to American yarns. This will be
helpful.
