Easily Identify Yarn Weight & Mystery Yarns
This wraps per inch (WPI) gauge is built around a proven, time‑tested method for determining yarn weight, making it ideal for identifying unlabeled or “mystery” yarns in your stash. Whether you knit, crochet, or weave, this tool helps you accurately measure yarn thickness without relying on missing labels.
Two Simple Ways to Use the WPI Tool
- Top Groove Method: Lay a single strand of yarn across the horizontal grooves to visually match yarn thickness and estimate weight at a glance.
- Traditional Wraps‑Per‑Inch Method: Secure yarn in the side notch, then wrap it evenly across the clearly marked one‑inch section. Count the wraps to determine the WPI, which corresponds to standard yarn weight categories.
A small notch along the lower edge keeps yarn in place while wrapping, and a precisely drilled hole at the top allows you to hang the tool, clip it to a project bag, or attach it to a Gauge Ruler Keychain for on‑the‑go measuring.
