    types of yarn

    I get confused by the yarns or threads specified in patterns. If the materials used are unfamiliar, it's hard to know what weight or ply of yarn may be substituted.
    Does anyone else have an issue with this?

    Quite often if I'm not familiar with a yarn that's used in a pattern, I'll look it up on http://yarndex.com/ to see what its properties are. That will give me a good idea as to what else I can substitute in its place.
