Sett Chart

This list includes scans of each of the yarns used in Weaving Made Easy. Underneath each scan you will find the yards per pound (and meters per kilogram) along with a recommended sett for balanced plain weave. Keep in mind that some of the setts may differ from the way they are used in the projects if denser or looser setts were used to weave warp- or weft-emphasis or lacy fabrics. You can use the scans to compare yarns you have on hand and make substitutions. When substituting yarns, it is a good idea to use similar fiber types with the same yarn characteristics.
