HOW THICK IS THIS YARN?

Our yarn thickness is measured using the NM count, the industry standard in the textile world. This differs from ply, which is commonly used for hand knitting yarns. To help you visualize the yarn's thickness, we've compared it to everyday items.

This yarn is similar thickness to waxed dental floss, but obviously much nicer!

Yarn FAQ

  • Can I use your yarns to hand knit, crochet or weave?

    Of course! We have stock a range of thicknesses from super fine to chunkier yarns for all your creative projects.

    You can filter our yarns by gauge via the 'SHOP YARNS' page.

  • How do I know what size yarn is right for my machine?

    We’ve done all the groundwork so you don’t need to!

    Scroll up to view the ‘MACHINE SUGGESTION’ section where we have machine and knit recommendations for each yarn.

  • What's the difference between hand and machine knit yarn?

    Machine knit yarn is coned yarn for even tension and has more strength than hand knit yarn. You can use both interchangeably but the biggest difference would be the stretch and strength machine knitting yarn has.
