A Note On Ordering Warp Yarn Online
Yarn sold online is typically measured using yarn counts - a number that often tells you the length of yarn per kilo or pound, and the number of individual strands plied together into the yarn.
The warp yarn that I use in this course is approximately 2mm, and I have selected warp yarns that match this as closely as possible.
If in doubt when shopping for yarn, the best thing to do is to look at the length by weight. The longer the length per kilo or pound, the thinner the yarn is. The warp yarn I use is 500 metres per kilo (approx 248 yards per pound), and most of the warp yarns listed below are between 200-400 yards per pound. If you have any questions, please do get in touch with me at students@christabelbalfour.com and I'll do my best to advise.
