Craft Unit Conversions Made Easy

Patterns, suppliers and tutorials rarely agree on units. These converters translate between the systems you meet in crochet, sewing, woodworking and jewellery so a project from anywhere works in your hands.

Length and fabric conversions

Inches to centimetres, metres to yards and millimetres to inches cover most fabric, yarn and pattern measurements. Because fabric is often sold by the metre but patterns are written in inches, a quick conversion prevents buying too little.

Weight and volume for materials

Wax, resin, clay and fibre are sold by weight but worked by volume. Convert grams to ounces, kilograms to pounds and millilitres to cups so a recipe scales correctly whatever unit it was written in.

Craft-specific sizes

Ring sizes, paper sizes and temperatures do not follow a simple formula. Dedicated converters map the standard scales used in the UK, US, EU and Japan so you can order materials or follow a pattern with confidence.

Converters for makers

  • Inches, centimetres, metres and yards.
  • Grams, ounces, kilograms and pounds.
  • Millilitres, cups, pints and gallons.
  • Celsius, Fahrenheit and Kelvin.
  • Ring and paper size converters.

Frequently asked questions

How many centimetres are in an inch?

One inch is exactly 2.54 centimetres. The converters here use that exact factor rather than a rounded value.

How many yards are in a metre?

One metre is about 1.0936 yards. Conversely, one yard is about 0.9144 metres. Small differences add up over a large project, so use the converter rather than estimating.

Why convert craft units at all?

Patterns and materials come from many countries. Converting accurately avoids wasted material, sizing errors and rework.
