Question:

What's the weight of my yarn?

So I bought a giant cone o' economy yarn from the thrift store for a buck the other day.I thought it was sock yarn in the package but upon closer inspection,it appears to be 5 strands of string, not spun together that are meant to be used together.Does anyone have any idea what weight this would be considered without having to knit a swatch and check a chart?

Answer:

Yes, use the wraps-per-inch method vnelson suppliedI do it by wrapping gently around a wooden rulerThe plies answer won't work because yarns of all weights come with different number of plies - you can even get single-ply bulky weight yarnYour cone may be weaving yarn given the descriptionIt can also be used on knitting machinesSee if the untwisted effect continues through the cone or is just at the end; sometimes yarns untwist at the end especially if they have a lot of cotton, rayon, or synthetic fiber.
Vegetables, fruits and whole grains
BeansWhole grain breadSpecial cereal.
Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and beans are all a good source of fiber(Not to mention fiber bars.) A lot of labels will show you how much fiber is included - I know I see plenty of cereals that have over 3g of fiber per serving! quite oftenDairy foods do not have a lot of fiberIf you really need fiber, leaving the peels on some food can add extra fiber, but always search/google the food because some foods may require you too take off the peel(Usually obvious, but some things will surprise youAlways peel potatoes or wash them thoroughly because of bacteria.) Oatmeal and cereal are good for breakfast, and whole grain is probably your best bet.
whole wheat bread and bran.
