We're digging deep into your stash to help you identify yarn that might no longer have any identifying information. (Eek!) This week's question is about choosing patterns when knitting socks for larger feet.


WPI (wraps her inch) and Yarn Weight Charts

Here's a link to a https://www.katrinkles.com/shop/dachshund-knitting-needle-gauge-wraps-per-inch-tool?rq=WPI (WPI tool), in case you're having trouble visualizing it!


Tools for yardage



Mystery yarn (with WPI/weight identified)

Kitchen or postage scale (need to measure in grams)

Yarn Weight and Yards per Pound Chart

These are estimates/ranges because fiber content and yarn construction affects physical weight
