knitting and crocheting yardages

[Ladynotingreen]

Hi preservefreak,

Highlander's got it right: it really depends on the thickness of the yarn. I've thrown in a photo of two balls in my knitting stash to illustrate this. The ball on top is 420 yards of sock weight yarn, while the one on the bottom is about 100 yards of bulky weight yarn. What weight (thickness) yarn you use will depend on what you're making or what your pattern calls for.

Hope that helps. I knit, but not that well.

I just wish I knew how many meters/yards you got in a 100g ball
