About wraps per inch & setts...

The wpi and epi numbers above are approximate and a guide to help you only. There really is no substitute for doing your own sampling to achieve the fabric you want.

What do yarn weight numbers mean?

In simple terms, the lower the first number, the thicker one ply of yarn is. The second number denotes how many plies the yarn has. So a 10/2 yarn and a 3/2 yarn both have 2 plies, but the 3/2 yarn is much thicker than the 10/2 yarn.
