YARN / WOOL SIZES
Yarn sizes are a potential source of confusion. One system classifies yarns into 5 categories by the approximate diameter of the yarn.
A = Fingering or fine-weight yarns, good for thin socks and light baby clothes
B = Sport or Medium-weight yarns, good for indoor sweaters, baby things, dresses and suits
C = Worsted-weight or knitting yarns, good for outdoor sweaters, hat, mittens, afghans, and slippers
D = Bulky-weight yarns, used for rugs, heavy jackets, and crafts
E = Extra bulky-weight yarns, used mostly for rugs
