Yarn Standards are they standard if not everyone is using the same ones? 

Fiberific! Ep# 52 Standards! You got none, Yarn!
This episode is about yarn standards and how to navigate them, as they are not at all "standard" in an internationally accepted manner. I talk comparisons between the different standards that I use the most. We need to understand the importance of the different terminology, of weight, ply and even worsted. That people from different crafting backgrounds can understandably be confused, by the use of the same words meaning different concepts in the same art form.. 4 ply does not only mean 4 plies, but also determines a diameter of yarn. The english language users are at it again! And wouldn't it be nice if we could have one international yarn standard? #yarnstandards #yarnweight #ply #worstedweight #worsted
