How many yards equal 50 grams of yarn?
You can not determine how many yards from the weight of the skein or cone. 50 grams is 1.75 ounces but it would depend on the exact thickness and type of yarn to know how many yards. The thicker the yarn the less the yards as a rule. Example a 50 gram ball of sport yarn can be anywhere from 110 to 170 yards give or take , but a 50 gram ball of bulky can be anywhere from 30 yards to 60 yards give or take ..
What is a coil of yarn?
A coil of yarn may be called a hank or a skein. Yarn is typically sold in a ball or a skein. A hank is different in that it is a big loop of yarn that is twisted up for easy shipping.
What do you call a ball of yarn?
Yarn comes in different "gatherings"--ways that it can be sold. Your question mentioned 2 out of the three: ball of yarn and skein of yarn. The third would be a Hank of yarn. A hank is a skein of yarn (which is yarn in a large oblong shape, and tied in a few places around the skein to maintain a bit of control over the yarn staying in that loose shape), which has been twisted around itself to make for a smaller and more controllable yarn, which is easier to pack, and store. A hank also is a bit more manageable than a skein of yarn. A ball of yarn would be wound from a skein or a hank.
Can you knit a scarf or sweater using more than one ball of wool?
Yes. Depending on the size of the sweater and the weight of yarn used, a knitted sweater may use up to 1000 or 2000 yards of yarn. The average ball of worsted weight yarn contains about 200 or less yards, so it is not only possible, but necessary to knit a sweater with more than one ball of yarn.
Can a sweater be returned to wool?
You may be able to unravel the sweater, and in so doing as you wind it, you'll end up with a ball of yarn. If the yarn is plyed -- twisted, you may be able to unply the strands. You will not be successful in 'un-spinning' the fibres that make up the yarn.
What is the best knot to start with for knitting?
Slip knot is the preferred knot. Just wrap the yarn around two fingers and pull the yarn that connects to the ball through the two fingers and pull until it knots. It may take some practice but then you are able to cast on.

Is the baseball of today made the same as the baseball during the days of Babe Ruth?
no there is a huge difference but then again not so much the out side is till the same but other then that no. You see back then when babe Ruth was playing the ball inside was made out of yarn but in todays time our baseball has a cork in side insdead od yarn so there is a big difference but you might find some balls that are still yarn in side and not cork! Any baseball you find has yarn on the inside. It may have a cork center, but it still has a little yarn around the cork. Althought in the major leagues the baseball has no cork in the center. If it has cork, it is most likely a recreational ball. Baseballs are also still laced by hand.
