StitchMeasure is an independent Maple Web Group property. Calculators use transparent arithmetic; reference mappings are limited original compilations checked against documented authorities and presented with variability warnings.
Calculation rules
- Length conversion uses the defined factor 1 yard = 0.9144 metres.
- Gauge results preserve the unrounded calculation and then show a practical whole-stitch or whole-row result.
- Repeat fitting separates repeated stitches from any setup or edge stitches supplied by the user.
- Invalid, zero and negative measurement inputs do not produce a usable result.
Reference governance
Millimetres are treated as the canonical physical diameter. US and legacy UK labels are presented as commonly encountered mappings with a manufacturer-variation warning. Yarn terminology is explained in original prose; Craft Yarn Council symbols and third-party table designs are not reproduced.
Primary consulted sources: Craft Yarn Council Hooks & Needles, Standard Yarn Weight System and Standards FAQ. Source links appear on relevant pages. Measurement formulae are independently implemented arithmetic.
Review cycle: conversion mappings and yarn terminology annually; editorial blanket starting points at least every two years; calculation regression tests whenever code changes. Last substantive review: 25 August 2026.
How to use this page
- Use exact defined length factors for metre/yard conversion.
- Use millimetres as the canonical physical tool measurement.
- Show formulas and unrounded values before practical rounding.
- Record source URL, access date and review requirement for factual dependencies.
What to check before you rely on the result
- StitchMeasure is not affiliated with a manufacturer or standards body.
- External graphics, symbols and table expression are not copied.
