We retain source units. Published pairings of 4 inches and 10 cm are approximate. “Not verified” means no supported value is recorded here; it does not mean the yarn lacks that property.
No physical testing is claimed. Swatch in your pattern’s stitch and strand combination, wash and dry it, then check gauge and fabric. Browse the US yarn alternatives guide · Send a correction.
