If you have yarns lying around and don’t know their counts, you can use this calculator to get the standard yarn counts in both direct and indirect systems.

We have also added another calculator through which you can convert your yarn’s count to other popular direct and indirect yarn counting systems.

How to Use Our Yarn Count Calculator

Well, it’s pretty straightforward.

  1. Measure the length of your yarn or filament with whatever measuring device you have. You can input the values in Meters or Centimeters or Yards or Inches.
  2. Weigh your yarn on any type of scale you have at your home. Remember a precise weighing scale will ensure an accurate measurement. And do not forget to make sure that your yarn or filament is dry and conditioned.
  3. Input the length and weight in our calculator and you will get your yarn count in different measuring systems.
