How many skeins for comforter?
The number of skeins needed for a comforter depends on the yarn weight and the size of the comforter. For a standard twin-size comforter, you might need around 8 to 12 skeins of worsted weight yarn, while a larger queen or king-size comforter could require 15 to 20 skeins or more. Always check the specific pattern for guidance on yarn requirements, as this can vary significantly. Additionally, it's wise to purchase an extra skein to account for any variations in dye lots or tension.

What is the Mathematical formula for calculating gsm of woven fabric?
Grams per Square Meter:(no. of warp yarns per inchXdenier)+(no.of weft yarns per inchXdenier)/size of the fabric in incheg: 10 yarns in warp x 10 yarns in weft, denier(density) is 1000.1 mtr : 33.316 inch so 1mtr area = 228.6 is constant.say,((10X1000)+(10X1000))/228.6= 87.48~87.5 GSM.

How do you make one skein of yarn with left over yarn Can you make one jumbo skein instead of several small ones Is there another way other than the Russian join?
Yes, you can join leftover yarns together to make skeins of yarn. There are no size limits to the skein that you create, make it the size that you want. There are many ways to join yarn--a simple knot will do the trick. Personally, I like the Weavers Knot (see attached video). I also added a video which shows braiding the ends together. Friends I know use the "spit" method, if they are using natural fibers. Also, you can weave in the ends. But, if you have a lot of ends, that can be a project in itself.
How can you tell if unlabelled wool is double knitting?
You can get a rough idea by comparing it with a known sample, being careful not to stretch the yarns. You can weigh the skein and measure its length, and see how that compares with the numbers for the known yarn. You can use a double knitting pattern and make up a swatch to see if the size is approximately right. Even yarns with the same designation can vary quite widely.

You may be able to. However, worsted weight yarns are very variable, and some will be too thick for a 4 mm hook. If you mean a US size 4 (E, 3.5 mm) it would be pushing it. As always, work a small swatch, perhaps a 3 inch square, to see if it is satisfactory.

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.
