Description

The listing, Yarn has ended.

U will get all of what is shown in the pictures. I tried to take pics that would show the sizes of the balls of yarn best. I dont know how many yards each one is. And no, i will not un-wind them to find out. Lol. Free shipping and tracking. Good Luck!!

Ok, with the help of an awesome Listian, CrystalsStuff, i was able to try to take some pics that might help give a lil more detail about these balls of yarn. I used the soda can to help show the sizes of the yarn. I pulled the ends of the yarn apart to see if i could tell what ply they are...but im still not quite sure how to tell...when i pulled them apart, all except for the light blue one, pulled apart and there were 2 strands of yarn. Those two strands also pulled apart to make 4 strands all together. So im not sire if that means they are 2 ply or 4 ply. The light blue pulled apart and there were only 3 strands and those strands didnt pull apart. I have a friend who is coming over and offered to let me use her scale to weigh them. As soon as she gets here i will weigh them and then post it here in the description. Thank You to all who understand that i have no clue about yarn but can see that i am trying.

It's the gage of the yarn. Thicker yarn is worsted and a thinner is sock/baby

Ok well...since all i can use to determine that is my own common sense, i would have to say that they are all worsted, except for the light blue one. That one i would have to say is sock/baby. I never knew that so much went into something as simple as yarn. I was just saying to myself, when i was pulling apart the end of each yarn to figure out what ply they are, man...this isnt rocket science...its yarn...i bet these ppl are wondering how i dont already know this stuff lol. But to be honest, i have come to believe that it really isnt rocket science, but also that yarn isnt just a simple thing as one who has never used it to craft things(other than friendship bracelets many years ago) would think it is. But i am happy to be learning about it. Thanks to everyone for that help!!

I dont know what ply they are and i dont have a way to weigh them separately. I am sorry. These were given to me. I dont really know much about yarn.

you can look at each end and count how many strings it has wrapped (twisted) together usually has like 3 or 4 in one strand! I would like to bid if I new! and maybe you could toke a pic by a cup or some thing we all know the size of!
