Now you can compare weights and sizes of all Omega's yarn. Chart shows yardage per ounce from thinnest to thickest. This will help tremendously when substituting.

The following is an excerpt from "The State of Specialty Needlearts 2007".
"Crocheters form a specialty market of major significance. Each crocheter spends twice as much time and does twice as many projects as a knitter, but spends less money per project. They donate more than one-third as gifts".

Why & How?
Crocheting has been a part of my life for over 40 years. I have many, many books and magazines because I am always looking for something new, either a pattern, yarn or thread. Recently I discovered nylon thread, namely Hilos Omega. I was amazed at the feel when working with it, the clean look of the finished product, and the amazing versatility it offers. Then I learned the size I was using comes in 74 different colors. There is nothing I can't make with it.
This thread was very hard to find so I've decided to become a distributor. I can now use any size or color I want for the many items I plan on making with it. And I knew that there are lots of other crocheters out there that would be amazed at all the possibilities.
And then I found out that they carry a ton of yarns that I had never seen before. I'm in heaven!!!
