Wraps Per Inch (WPI)Spinning Guild

Convert WPI count to standard yarn weight categories, plies, and recommend needle/hook sizes.

Workshop Parameters
Super Bulky (2)Fine Lace (45)
Measurement instructions: Wrap your handspun yarn around a ruler or standard WPI gauge snugly without squeezing or stacking the threads. Count how many parallel wraps fit within exactly one inch.
Yarn Weight & Tool Class
Standard WeightDK / Light Worsted(3 - Light)

KNITTING NEEDLESUS 5-7 (3.75-4.5mm)
CROCHET HOOKS7 to I-9 (4.5-5.5mm)

Category Properties:

This yarn is traditionally equivalent to 8 ply yarn. The thickness makes it perfect for standard projects matching the needle recommendations above.

Ratios are standard artisan approximations based on active spinning dynamics. Fiber wash yields vary depending on grazing conditions.
