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.
