Catégories de laine, tensions et aiguilles ou crochets recommandés pour chacune.
J’en parle souvent mais je ne vous l’avais pas encore montré… ce tableau créé par le Craft Yarn Council propose une standardisation des grosseurs de laine (échelle de 0 à 6). Les manufacturiers américains utilisent ce standard dans la plupart des cas; internationalement ça s’en vient – tranquillement. Si la laine proposée ne mentionne pas la grosseur selon le Craft Yarn Council, vous pouvez aussi vous référer aux types de laine, tensions, aiguilles ou crochets recommandés dans le choix de votre laine.
Je vous invite à visiter souvent le site du Craft Yarn Council : une mine inépuisable d’information pour nous, dépendantes.

| * GUIDELINES ONLY: The above reflect the most commonly used gauges and needle or hook sizes for specific yarn categories.
** Lace weight yarns are usually knitted or crocheted on larger needles and hooks to create lacy, openwork patterns. Accordingly, a gauge range is difficult to determine. Always follow the gauge stated in your pattern. *** Steel crochet hooks are sized differently from regular hooks—the higher the number, the smaller the hook, which is the reverse of regular hook sizing |
