Here at Knit Picks, our in-house experts have created a handy yarn comparison chart that will make substituting yarns a snap! This helpful tool lets you search through yarn weights and similar fiber blends to find appropriate Knit Picks yarns that will work for your project. Additionally, once you compare fiber blends and put ups of other brands to Knit Picks, you will be sure to discover the remarkable value of our yarns. By creating our own Knit Picks yarns, we are able to work directly with yarn mills (often the same mills as other leading brands) in order to provide knitters and crocheters the highest quality yarns and fibers at the lowest possible prices.

We update this page quarterly, some of these yarns may no longer be available. Last updated 01/30/2013. These yarn substitutions were determined by our in-house experts based on gauge, fiber content, yarn weight, and their analysis of the way the yarn knits up. The fiber content information was taken directly from the yarn label and/or the manufacturer’s web site.
