grams to yards???
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas! It snowed AGAIN christmas eve, so it really was very white and very pretty here! I got some wonderful possum and merino yarn from New Zealand for christmas - you can read all about it and see it on my blog ! What I am wondering is, if there is any way to convert grams to meters or yards - it says 8 ply, but feels like a light sport weight and 100g is the only other measuring mark on the tags . . . it looks and feels like quite a bit of yardage . . . its just hard to pick a project without knowing an approximate yardage . . .

If you can find out the meters you can go to this website and enter the info for the conversion to yardage:

You could also try one of those WPI (wraps per inch) tools that can help you discover the weight of mystery yarn. You can even use a regular ruler... check it out here:

Hope these help a little!
Well, I have toiled and toiled and used Stephieface's links (thank you again!!) and found that there should be close to 300 yards (by my calculations 292 yds per skein) so now I have enough to make something really cool!! And once again its dumping snow -- so I will have some knitting time!
