How much yarn do you buy if a pattern asks for balls?
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.
What is the average weight of a skein of acylic yarn?
if you mean a basic knitting worsted weight for afghans normally in yarn shops they are 100 grams skeins which is 3 1/2 ounces.. if you mean in knitting stores the smaller skeins for children's and adult fine garments they are 50 grams 1 3/4 ounces .. years ago they used to be 4 ounces and 2 ounces , but like the coffee cans they shrunk .. in craft stores the large skeins can be 200 grams or even more .. but craft yarn is exactly what it says CRAFT not for garments .. unless it states it is for afghans or sweaters etc .. so be careful of craft store yarns and make sure if you buy there that you buy for the right purpose

How many skeins of worsted yarn is 18 oz?
There isn't a way to figure out how many skeins of worsted yarn would equal 18 oz. You would need to look at the yarn, and see how many ounces are in that particular skein and go from there.The word "weight" in yarn refers to the size or thicknessof the strand of yarn, not an actual ounce, pound, gram or kilogram. Then the size or thickness would be measured by how many stitches are in 4 inches. The Yarn Council of America has a guideline for "weight" measurement for yarns.The reason there are variables in the actual skein ounces, grams weight, is that different fibers of the same length would weigh differently--some are lighter or heavier than others.
How do you use skein in a sentence?

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 ounces in a skein of yarn?
The length of yarn in a skein varies greatly with brand, variety, etc. You can determine the length of the yarn by looking on the front of the label, where it is listed along with weight, recommended needle/hook size and dye lot
How much yarn do you need for a crochet blanket 48X 62?
It is impossible to say definitively since every pattern will use a different amount, plus the amount needed for your particular tension will be different. If you are using different colors or one color throughout will also make a difference. The weight of the yarn used would make a difference as well. For these purposes, I will assume worsted weight yarn. I found a post where an afghan 60 x 80 (top of a queen size bed), which is 4800 sq in, would use approx. 11 skeins of Red Heart Super Saver. Assuming the 7 ounce skeins, that would be 77 ounces. You would need a bit more than that since your afghan will be slightly larger. For a king size afghan, one poster used 112 ounces, and the other used 104 ounces. A king size mattress is 76 x 80 which is pretty close to the size you need. Your 68 x 88 blanket would be 5984 sq in. and 76 x 80 would be 6080 sq in., a difference of only 96 sq in. If you are using multiple colors, you will need xx amount of each color, which may mean having leftover yarn of some colors, but that amount needs to be included in the ounces purchased. If you are working with one color, you could make a sample row or round in a similar yarn type and measure how much yarn it takes. Then multiple that amount by how many rows or pattern rows you need to do. This will only be accurate if your rows are the same throughout, or if you make one complete "pattern" of your afghan. If you are using a pattern, the pattern of course should tell you how many ounces are needed. If it says only "xx skeins of xx type of yarn", then find that yarn online and see how many ounces or yards are in that yarn and multiple it out. If you are making squares, then you can make one square, rip it back and see how much would be needed, plus an allowance for assembly and edging.
