Does anyonehave a chart on how to convert year. For example does 2 baby yarns equal a sports weight, or does 2 worsted weight equal a chunchy weight. If you have it please email it to me Terri Meoni Meonimets@aol.com

What I do, is multiply the gauge, the stitches per 4 inches, by .72 to get the gauge of 2 strands of the yarn per 4 inches. I learned this from, I think, elann long ago, and it works very well.
Examples: baby weight at 32st x .72 = 23 st - sport
DK at 22st = 16 (15.84) st - chunky
