Before you swap

Match the length per 100 g, not just the label. Two yarns sold as Lace can differ by a fifth in thickness. Compare yards per 100 g, or weigh a length with the yarn weight calculator.
Make a tension square (gauge swatch). A close match on paper still needs to hit your pattern's stitches per 10 cm (or per 4 inches) after washing before you cast on.
Buy by total length. Multiply the balls your pattern asks for by their length, then divide by the new yarn's length per ball.
Mind the fiber. Cotton and linen have no spring, mohair hides stitch detail, and tweeds and woolen-spun yarns bloom after washing. See the yarn guides by weight and fiber.
