FOR WEAVING
Take the total number of wraps per inch and divide
by two for tabby/plain weave.
This number will be your "sett" or how many "ends per inch" you should use.
If you plan to weave in a twill pattern, your sett should be more epi than
tabby;
i.e. if the tabby sett is 24 epi, twill would be around 32 epi.

FIGURING YARDAGE
USING "WPI" (wraps per inch) FOR KNITTING
Most yarns on our website have "wpi"
listed. The "wpi" is determined by
wrapping a particular yarn around a ruler for one inch...side by side without
overlapping
or seeing the ruler thru the yarn.
