Skol is a discontinued 100% Pure New Norwegian Wool. Its worsted weight and was made in 1.6oz/84 yard skeins.
Your answer depends on the gauge that you knit with the yarn and needles that you want to use and the size of the afghan that you want to make.Can you do the math?
There isn't a way to figure out how many skeins of worsted yarn would equal 18 oz. You would need to look at the yarn, and see how many ounces are in that particular skein and go from there.The word "weight" in yarn refers to the size or thicknessof the strand of yarn, not an actual ounce, pound, gram or kilogram. Then the size or thickness would be measured by how many stitches are in 4 inches. The Yarn Council of America has a guideline for "weight" measurement for yarns.The reason there are variables in the actual skein ounces, grams weight, is that different fibers of the same length would weigh differently--some are lighter or heavier than others.
Since the regular Red Heart skein is four ounces, the pound package is four skeins for your conversion chart.
Yarn comes in skeins and in balls.

if you mean a basic knitting worsted weight for afghans normally in yarn shops they are 100 grams skeins which is 3 1/2 ounces.. if you mean in knitting stores the smaller skeins for children's and adult fine garments they are 50 grams 1 3/4 ounces .. years ago they used to be 4 ounces and 2 ounces , but like the coffee cans they shrunk .. in craft stores the large skeins can be 200 grams or even more .. but craft yarn is exactly what it says CRAFT not for garments .. unless it states it is for afghans or sweaters etc .. so be careful of craft store yarns and make sure if you buy there that you buy for the right purpose

I just bought 3 skeins of blue yarn to crochet a sweater for my granddaughter.
She sheered her alpacas, carded the wool and spun it, then produced eight-ounce skeins of yarn to sell to her customers.
There are no set rules about how many grams or yards of yarn per skein/ball of yarn. Different companies have different sized skeins/balls of yarn, and even between the different styles of yarns. Best bet would be to find the yarn that you would like to use for your project, and see how many grams in the ball then figure out how many balls you would need. A few numbers to keep in mind, 1070g = approximately 38oz, or about 2.4 pounds.
When you need to change skeins of yarn while you are working your project, it is best to do it at the end of a line. I would overlap three or four inches of yarn at the end of one skein and the beginning of the other. Make several stitches with the doubled yarn. If it looks too bulky, you can always tie a knot in the yarn at the end of the row. Never tie yarn in the middle of your work, it looks bad, and will create a interruption in your work.
