Notes:
Worsted weight yarn is a medium weight yarn that is commonly used for a wide variety of crochet and knitting projects. It is sometimes referred to as “afghan” or “aran” weight yarn. Worsted weight yarn is thicker than fingering, sport, or DK weight yarns, but not as thick as bulky or super bulky weight yarns.
The standard gauge for worsted weight yarn is approximately 16-20 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) when using size US 7-9 (4.5-5.5 mm) knitting needles or a size H-8 (5 mm) crochet hook.
Worsted weight yarn is versatile and can be used for a range of projects, such as sweaters, blankets, scarves, hats, and more. It comes in a variety of fibers, including wool, acrylic, cotton, and blends, and is available in a wide range of colors and textures.
