What is the Lion Brand yarn weight system?

The Lion Brand yarn weight system is a classification system used to categorize yarn based on its thickness. It helps knitters and crocheters choose the right yarn for their projects. Lion Brand has developed a unique system with seven different categories: super fine, fine, light, medium, bulky, super bulky, and jumbo. Each category represents a specific range of yarn thickness, aiding in determining the appropriate needle or hook size and gauge for that yarn. Super fine yarns are delicate and lightweight, while jumbo yarns are thick and chunky. The system allows crafters to easily navigate through Lion Brand's extensive collection, enabling them to find the perfect yarn for their desired project.
