[Nfb-krafters-korner] unraveling yarn talk

I am pretty sure it is 3 and 4 pli yarn.  It is usually a blend of yarn, like lion brand, not something like pure wool.  Others can explain it better.

Hey,

What exactly is worsted weight yarn? Or sport weight?

I have seen yarn with weights like medium or super bulky. I've also seen numbers like 3, 4 or 6. But, I have a pattern I want to try out with sport weight yarn but Michael's doesn't have yarn labled sport or worsted.
