Are you new to the world of crocheting and wondering how many yards are in a skein of yarn? Or maybe you're an experienced crocheter who's always wondered about this question but never found a clear answer. Whatever the case may be, understanding the yardage of a skein of yarn is essential for planning out your crocheting projects. This has confused me before which is the reason why I decided to pen this down for my own future reference as well! 

Yarn weight is an important factor to consider when starting a crochet project. The weight of the yarn determines its thickness, which can affect the final product's size and texture. There are seven standard yarn weights, ranging from super fine to jumbo, each with its own recommended hook size. 

Before deciding on the best yarn for your next amigurumi, there are a couple of considerations to think about before you go hunting for the best buys. If you are a crocheter, you could be in any part of the world with any number of different types of yarn. Universally though, it would be really useful to think through this 12-point checklist of what you want to achieve at the end of your project, irregardless of your yarn sources!
