I love to share!

The yarn weights and gauges are (GENERALLY):

• Lace (8 sts/in - size 1 needles)
• Fingering/Sock (7 sts/in - size 2 needles)
• Sport (6 sts/in - size 4 needles)
• DK (5.5 sts/in - size 5 needles)
• Worsted (5 sts/in - size 7 needles)
• Aran (4.5 sts/in - size 8 needles)
• Bulky (3.5 sts/in - size 10.5 needles)
• Super-Bulky (2.5 sts/in - size 13 needles)

This graphic might also help you picture the different weights.

 

I give all the credit to:
