Grams To Yards Yarn Conversion Formula

The formula is:

Yards = Weight in grams × Yards per gram

The yards per gram varies by yarn type:

• Lace: 8-9 yards/gram
• Fingering: 4-5 yards/gram
• DK: 2.5-3 yards/gram
• Worsted: 2 yards/gram
• Bulky: 1.5 yards/gram

How Many Yards in A Skein of Yarn

Calculate yards per skein using:

Total yards = Skein weight (g) × Yards per gram

• Lace Weight: 300-1000 yards/skein Malabrigo Lace typically contains 470 yards in a 50g skein
• Fingering/Sock: 200-450 yards/skein Lion Brand Sock Ease provides 438 yards per 100g skein
• Sport Weight: 150-300 yards/skein Cascade 220 Sport yields 164 yards in a 50g skein
• DK (Double Knit): 120-240 yards/skein Berroco Ultra Wool DK offers 145 yards per 50g skein
• Worsted Weight: 100-200 yards/skein Red Heart Super Saver contains 364 yards in a 198g skein
• Bulky: 60-140 yards/skein Bernat Softee Chunky provides 108 yards per 100g skein

How to Convert Grams To Yards Yarn

To convert grams to yards:

• Identify the yarn weight category.
• Find the yards per gram ratio.
• Multiply weight by ratio.

For medium worsted weight: 100g × 2 yards/gram = 200 yards This amount typically makes a medium-sized adult scarf.

For fingering weight wool: 50g × 4.5 yards/gram = 225 yards Perfect for a pair of socks or a small shawl.

For DK weight yarn: 250g × 2.75 yards/gram = 687.5 yards Sufficient for an adult sweater or a large throw blanket.
