ONCES Meaning and
Definition
-
Onces is a term used in the knitting and yarn industry to refer to a unit of measurement for the weight of a skein of yarn. It is commonly used in countries following the metric system, such as Canada and parts of Europe.
In the metric measurement system, onces is equivalent to 100 grams or approximately 3.5 ounces. The term is derived from the French word "once," meaning ounce.
Yarn weight is an important consideration for knitters and crocheters as it determines the thickness and density of the finished project. The onces measurement helps to categorize yarns into specific weight classes, ensuring consistency and accuracy in patterns and projects.
There are various yarn weight categories, such as lace, fingering, sport, worsted, bulky, and super bulky. Each category has recommended needle or hook sizes, as well as suggested stitch gauges, to achieve the desired results.
Onces is often included on yarn labels, along with other details like fiber content and recommended care instructions. This information allows crafters to choose the appropriate yarn weight for their intended project and to accurately estimate the amount of yarn needed.
