Why lace has no yardage table
Lace yarn is usually worked loosely on much larger tools in open patterns, so the yardage depends on the pattern far more than on the yarn. Follow your pattern, or weigh a swatch and use the swatch method of the yarn calculator.
The Craft Yarn Council’s Standard Yarn Weight System. Gauges are stitches per 4 in (10 cm): knit in stockinette, crochet in single crochet (lace in double crochet). CYC calls them guidelines: your pattern’s gauge comes first.
