Tutorial: Understanding knit fabric weight

When you order knit fabrics online, it can be hard to know if they will be the right thickness for your project. Most online stores will use descriptions like “lightweight” or “medium weight” but that’s kind of subjective. A more precise description will also include weight by ounces, Of course, this assumes that you know how they are measuring weight and what each weight would feel like.
