Knitting abbreviation - YD

Knitting abbreviation YD stands for yards. This is often used in US/Canadian patterns, as lengths of yarn are in empirical measurements. You can easily convert this to metric if preferred and vice versa. Look at the yarn tag and calculate yardage before you begin your project. Yarn may have different dye lots and look slightly different, which might impact the end result. You should get the correct amount of yarn to avoid disappointment after all the hard work and time.
