Grams To Yards Yarn Calculator

Enter any 2 values to calculate the required values

Input any two values—weight, conversion factor, or length—and the calculator will compute the missing value.

Use the Grams to Yards Yarn Calculator to convert yarn weight to yardage. Perfect for calculating yarn yardage by weight, using yarn charts, and estimating how much yarn you need for your project.

The Grams to Yards Yarn Calculator is a practical tool for knitters, crocheters, and textile enthusiasts to convert yarn weight into yardage.

Whether you’re estimating how much yarn you need, converting grams to yards, or using a yarn chart yardage by weight, this calculator simplifies the process. It is particularly helpful for determining yarn requirements for projects based on Lion Brand’s yardage chart or similar resources.

Formula

Length Formula

Length (yd)=Weight (g)×Conversion Factor (yd/g)\text{Length (yd)} = \text{Weight (g)} \times \text{Conversion Factor (yd/g)}

Weight Formula

Weight (g)=Length (yd)Conversion Factor (yd/g)\text{Weight (g)} = \frac{\text{Length (yd)}}{\text{Conversion Factor (yd/g)}}

Conversion Factor Formula

Conversion Factor (yd/g)=Length (yd)Weight (g)\text{Conversion Factor (yd/g)} = \frac{\text{Length (yd)}}{\text{Weight (g)}}

Variable Description Unit
Weight Weight of the yarn Grams (g), Kilograms (kg), Pounds (lb)
Conversion Factor Yards of yarn per unit of weight Yards/Gram, Yards/Kilogram, Yards/Pound
Length Total length of the yarn Yards (yd), Meters (m), Feet (ft)

Solved Examples

Example 1: Calculate Length

Step Value Explanation
Weight 500 g Input value
Conversion Factor 2 yd/g Input value
Formula Length = Weight × Conversion Factor Substitute values
Calculation 500×2=1000500 \times 2 Total Length = 1000 yards

Example 2: Calculate Weight

Step Value Explanation
Length 800 yd Input value
Conversion Factor 1.6 yd/g Input value
Formula Weight = Length ÷ Conversion Factor Substitute values
Calculation 800÷1.6=500800 \div 1. Total Weight = 500 grams

Applications

FAQs

How do I calculate yarn yardage by weight?
Multiply the weight of the yarn (grams) by the conversion factor (yards per gram). For example, if you have 500 grams of yarn and the conversion factor is 2 yd/g, the total yardage is 500×2=1000500 \times 2 = 1000 yards.

What is a yarn conversion factor?
The conversion factor represents the number of yards in one unit of yarn weight, such as yards per gram or yards per pound.

Can I use this calculator with yarn charts?
Yes! It is designed to complement yarn charts for yardage by weight. Simply input the chart values and calculate.

How much yarn do I need for my project?
Use the calculator to determine the required yardage based on the weight of the yarn you plan to use. For example, if your project requires 500 yards and your yarn has a conversion factor of 2 yd/g, you’ll need 500÷2=250500 \divgrams.
