Dear users, dear authors,
When buying or working with wool, do you base your decisions on the weight in grams, the yardage, or perhaps other factors?

I do pay attention to how many meters of yarn you get per 50 or 100 grams of wool when I’m working on a larger project like a jacket.

Best regards, Inge

I usually go by the weight, but I rarely work with very thick or very thin yarns, so the yardage is usually similar. My favorite needle sizes are 2.5 to 3.5.
