Yarn measurement

Does a "ball of yarn" equal a "skein of yarn?"

Hi,

a ball of yarn looks like a ball. A skein looks like a cylinder or a tube. But both means the same. :-)

Kind regards
Michaela

And if not indicated otherwise, this usually means a skein or ball of about 50g (1.75 oz) which is sort of a standard size (at least here in Germany and large parts of Europe).

Hope that helps :-)
Best regards,
Stefanie
