0 Weight, or Lace weight yarn is the thinnest yarn on the market. This type of yarn is usually used with a larger hook or needle and is used to make a lace effect for shawls or wraps! It makes for a very delicate and sophisticated look.

Super Fine weight yarn is also known as fingering weight yarn. It is used most commonly in knitting socks, baby garments and adult garments.

Weight 2 yarn is also known as sport weight or baby weight yarn. This type of yarn has a great drape when worked up and can be used to make socks also with a slightly thicker fabric than fingering weight yarn.

This yarn is also known as DK weight yarn. It works up much faster than the previously mention yarn and is very popular for sweaters and shawls.

Worsted Weight yarn is the most commonly used yarn in knit and crochet. It works up quickly and is so versitile that you can find patterns from garments, swimsuits (cotton), afghans (blankets) amigurumi and many more.

This yarn is perfect for blankets and chunky sweaters. Also known as chunky yarn.

Lately this kind of yarn has been used to make large plushies. It is very thick and it can also be used to make large blankets.

The good thing about a stitch marker is that you can really use a variety of things. My most commonly used stitch marker is a bobby pin. They aren’t expensive and if you loose it (like I do all the time), you usually have 100 more laying around your house! Another good option is a simple paperclip, but if you want to get some actual stitch markers, these are my go to! Just make sure you are using ones that have a way to be removed. If they are a solid circle ring those are used for knitting.
