A one-page reference for all eight Craft Yarn Council (CYC) weight categories — from Lace (0) through Jumbo (7) — showing wraps per inch (WPI), recommended knitting needle and crochet hook sizes in metric mm and US sizes, and knit gauge in stitches per 4 inches. Includes a how-to-measure WPI guide (wrap yarn around a ruler, count wraps per inch) and a note on reading the CYC symbol on the ball band. Sourced from Craft Yarn Council standards and Lion Brand. Great companion to the Knitting Needle & Crochet Hook printable.
For best results, print at 100% scale— not “fit to page.”
