If the pattern specifies to buy xx number of balls (or skeins), it should also give the yarn name. For example, it might say 3 skeins of Red Heart Soft but not give the ounces. Then you might look up Red Heart Soft online. Find out how many ounces in a skein, and then multiple 3 x that number. If you want to buy a different yarn, in the same weight class, you would know how many ounces to buy.

How to understand crochet patterns?
look at the pattern...... it usually says how much..... i.e.: 5 skeins of yarn As noted above, the pattern generally states how much yarn to use for that pattern. If you are trying to design your own pattern, however, then the process is more complicated. There is no general rule for how much yarn in a pattern, even as to type of pattern, because each is so different. Different scarf patterns, for example, would take different amounts of yarn. Generally speaking, I can probably make a scarf if I have 7 to 10 ounces of yarn. If I am making a hat for a child, I can do it with one 3.5 ounce skein with yarn leftover. For an adult, it depends on the pattern. Sometimes one skein would be enough, sometimes two would be needed. Afghans require more yarn, but amount varies with yarn, hook, and the size of the afghan as well as the pattern. One can take a baby afghan pattern and use chunky yarn to give a larger afghan, but amount of yarn required will be different. If you have a pattern and it gives you the yarn amount in skeins but not ounces, and you want to use a different yarn, then you need to find out how many ounces in that type of yarn, then buy the required ounces in a yarn in the same weight category.

How many balls in 1070 grams of yard of yarn worsted WEIGHT?
There are no set rules about how many grams or yards of yarn per skein/ball of yarn. Different companies have different sized skeins/balls of yarn, and even between the different styles of yarns. Best bet would be to find the yarn that you would like to use for your project, and see how many grams in the ball then figure out how many balls you would need. A few numbers to keep in mind, 1070g = approximately 38oz, or about 2.4 pounds.
When knitting with two strands of yarn is there any way to keep the yarn from tangling so much?
Yes. Learn to knit both English-style and continental-style. Then you can carry one yarn on the left hand and the other on the right hand. The balls will not have to be twisted and the strands cannot tangle. See video links below.
