The exact formula reads: yarn = 2000 yards per pound
divide 2000 by 454 grams per pound = 4.4052 yards per gram multiply by 500g 4.4052 * 500 = 2202 yards per 500g multiply 2202 by 0.9 (1 yard = 0.9 meter) 2202 * 0.9 = 1,982 meters per 500g This number is close enough to the 2000 yards per pound that there is no significant difference in the weight of yarn needed for a project. ypp = meters per 500g Sara von Tresckow The Woolgatherers, Fond du Lac, WI Visit Us Here: http://www.woolgatherers.com
