## About this site

Yarn Substitute Finder helps knitters and crocheters find a workable substitute yarn when a pattern's original yarn is unavailable, discontinued, or just not to hand. Pick a Craft Yarn Council weight category (0 Lace through 7 Jumbo) or search a yarn name, and the tool shows matching needle/hook sizes, gauge, typical yardage, and a short list of commonly available substitutes, plus a yards-to-skeins calculator. Everything runs locally in the browser, no input is sent to or stored on a server.
