Yarn weight

Hi, I’m new here and need some help. I’ve done quite a bit of crocheting and am currently working on some eyeglass cases. But I’m having trouble because I can never seem to find the right yarn.  Most of the patterns are in English, which isn’t a problem for me, but what exactly is “worsted weight cotton yarn”? What’s the yardage? Is it, for example, Hobbii 8/4? I don’t want to buy yarn again that ends up not working. See photo

Hello,

I asked “Big G” about it because I was curious too. In short, it says it’s medium-weight cotton yarn, hook size 4.5–5.5 (for amigurumi, more like 3.5–4), with a yardage of 70–90 m/50 g or 140–180 m/100 g.

Have fun making your eyeglass cases :) !

By the way—is it intended or desired that the pattern be visible to everyone like this?

Posting the image here is certainly not allowed, since it’s not her own photo. But Manuela won’t know that, since this is her first post. Josefa, our moderator, will probably remove it soon. 

Dear Manuela, I still hope you find a solution to your problem.

Best regards, Ina

So, first of all, oops, sorry. Can I remove the picture? I didn’t realize—I just wanted to show which yarn I’m talking about.

And thanks—I think you’ve helped me out.

Yeah, like Ina said—it definitely wasn’t meant to be mean :)

Glad we could help! Good luck and have fun!

Dear Manuela, don’t worry about it. You don’t need to do anything else. Only our moderator, Josefa, can edit (change) a post here after it’s been posted. She’ll take care of it when she’s back on duty. In general, you’re not allowed to post pictures here that don’t belong to you. That could lead to copyright infringements. You’ll know better next time, and that’s fine. 

I’m glad we were able to help you. I wish you continued success and a great result.

Best regards, Ina
