Unlock the Magic of Holding Multiple Stands of Yarn Together.

Unlock the Magic of Holding Multiple Stands of Yarn Together.

Have you ever wondered what happens when you hold two strands of yarn together? When you hold two strands of the same weight (or different weights) together, it creates a whole new thickness — and this information will show you exactly what that equals. Whether you're looking to adjust gauge, add texture, or experiment with color, the Craft Yarn Council is a great yarn resource. Checkout Ravelry yarn weight chart here.

This is a cheat sheet for yarn weights when combining multiple yarn threads.
2 strands of lace weight = fingering > Sock
2 strands of sock = sport weight >DK
2 strands of sport = DK > light worsted
2 strands of DK = Worsted or Aran
2 strands of Worsted = Chunky
2 strands of Aran = Chunky >Super Bulky
2 strands of Chunky = Super bulky > Jumbo

1 strand of Fingering + 1 strand of Lace = Sport
1 strand of DK + 1 strand of Lace = worsted
1 strand Worsted + 1 strand of Fingering = Aran
