Yarn Comparison Chart
Substituting yarns is a snap with our handy chart!
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.
