Hi folks I am having difficulty finding a reasonable online resource that compares different yarn or thread weights.
For example, I use crochet cotton #5, #3 or #8. How do they compare (thickness wise) with silk 60/2 or perhaps 2 ply knitting wool? Ok, this perhaps is a silly example, 2 ply is thickest, followed by 3,5 and 8. I'm assuming the silk is by far the finest, but is it twice as fine as #8? Has anyone found/got a simple comparison chart? Look forward to hearing from anyone :) Sarah PS: For any tablet weavers out there, I've got a brilliant little method (can't be used with continuous warp though) for getting rid of twist buildup - cheap and easy! PPS: sorry for those who are also on the braids & bands list as I am sending this there too!
