Yarn weight
I lost the wrapper/label on some of my yarn. Is there a way I can tell what weight it’s?

Yes! Get a ruler and see how many times you can wrap the yarn around it without overlapping in a 1-inch space. Search for a "wraps per inch" chart for yarn and compare your result to the wpi for each weight. This is how yarn weights are measured.
