Ever had to buy wool by the pound and not sure how the price relates to yardage? This handy chart will help. It works on the principle that one yard of rug hooking wool weighs about 14 ounces, just a bit under one pound. Some wool is thicker, some thinner, but this is a good average.
| Weight in pounds | Weight in ounces | Yardage Equivalent | Off the bolt value | Ready to hook value |
| 0.875 | 1/16 yd* | $1.50 | $3.50 | |
in | 1 oz. | a bit more than 1 strip | $1.71 | $4 |
| .5 lb | 8 | .57 | $13.71 | $32 |
| .9 | 14 | 1 | 24 | 56 |
| 1 lb | 16 | 1.14 | $27.43 | 64 |
| 1.5 lb | 24 | 1.7 | 41.14 | 96 |
*This is the size wool I sell ready-to-hook in my studio. I highlighted the main bits of information that you might be looking for.
These are the measurements that I use for the wool sale, see below.
The basic assumptions
- one yard of rug hooking wool weighs 14 ounces
- 16 ounces are in 1 lb.
- I am using the current prices I charge in my studio of $24 for off the bolt and $56 a yard for ready to hook ($3.50 for a 1/16 yard strip). See my instructions for breaking down a yard of wool.https://cindigayrughooking.com/how-to-rip-wool/
