==Weight==
According to the Craft Yarn Council, the term "Worsted Weight", also "Afghan", 
"Aran", or simply "Medium", refers to a particular weight of yarn that produces a [[gauge (knitting)|gauge]] of 16–20 stitches per 4 inches of stockinette, and is best knitted with 4.5mm to 5.5mm needles (US size 7–9).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.craftyarncouncil.com/weight.html |title=Standard Yarn Weight System |publisher=Craftyarncouncil.com |access-date=2013-09-15}}</ref>

The term worsted, in relation to textile yarn weight, is defined as the number of [[Hank (unit of measure)|hanks of yarn]], each with a length of 560 yards, that weigh one pound.

Super numbers represent the fineness of the worsted wool fiber used in the fabric. The higher the number, such as Super 100s, 120s, or 150s, the finer the wool thread is. The actual number is calculated by the maximum number of hanks of wool that can be spun into one pound of wool. For example, if you can spin 100 hanks each 560 yards long, the resulting wool is classified as Super 100s. Generally, the higher the super number, the lighter the weight of the fabric.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-04-22 |title=Wool Suit Fabric "Super" Numbers Explained |url=https://www.gentlemansgazette.com/wool-super-numbers-explained/ |access-date=2024-09-16 |language=en-US}}</ref>
