2.0 out of 5 stars Good book that is outdated., August 6, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Universal Yarn Finder (Paperback)
This book was helpful a few years ago when the yarns described inthe book were still available. Unfortunately a lot of yarns have beendiscontinued and many new ones that would be good substitutions are not in the book because of it's age. My rating is based only on this fact, a few years ago it would have been different. It is good if you know yarns well and the pattern you have calls for old yarn that doesn't exist anymore but is in the book and based on that you can figure out the substitute by yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth Its Weight In Gold, May 15, 2007
This review is from: Universal Yarn Finder (Paperback)
This book is useful precisely because so many of the yarns listed are discontinued. Many of us knitters use vintage patterns and when the instructions call for a yarn that is no longer in production, we can turn to the Universal Yarn Finder to determine weight, yardage, put-up as well as fiber composition and gauge of the original yarn in order to make an intelligent and informed substitution. It's one of the most utilized volumes in my knitting library.
