Describe five different ways in which minerals are used?
Aluminum - (Bauxite) - The most abundant metal element in the Earth's crust. Bauxite ore is the main source of aluminum and is imported from Guinea, Australia, Jamaica, etc. Used in automotive and airplanes (36%), bottling and canning industries (25%); kitchen cookware and foil; building and electrical (14%); personal products, like deodorants. Antimony - A native element; antimony metal is extracted from stibnite and other minerals. Used as a lead hardener for storage batteries and cable sheaths; used as an alloy and in flame-retardant formulations. Arsenic - A by-product of mining. Cotton production; wood preservatives. Asbestos - Can be readily separated into thin, strong fibers that are flexible, heat resistant and chemically inert, asbestos minerals are used in fireproof fabrics, yarn, cloth and paper and paint filler. Friction products, asbestos cement pipes and sheets, coatings and compounds, packing and gaskets, roofing and flooring products, paints and caulking and chemical filters. Fibers are dangerous when breathed, so uses must protect against fibers becoming airborne. Basalt - Basalt is an extrusive igneous rock. Extrusive means that it solidified after flowing onto the surface of the earth. Basalt is used in many of the same ways as granite. It is suitable for railroad ballast, for asphalt and road aggregate in highway construction. Barium - (Barite) - Used as a heavy additive in oil well drilling mud, paints, rubber, plastic and paper; production of barium chemicals and glass manufacturing. Beryllium - Industrial and nuclear defense applications, used in light, very strong alloys for aircraft industry. Beryllium salts are used in X-ray tubes and as a deoxidizer in bronze metallurgy. The gemstones of beryl are emerald and aquamarine. Bismuth - Is a by-product of ore processing, used in chemicals, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics. Boron - Used primarily in the manufacture of different types of glass (Pyrex). Bromine - Used in leaded gasoline; fire extinguishers and retardants; well completion fluids and sanitary preparations.

Coal - Technically, coal is not really a mineral. It should be considered a black or brownish-black rock of organic origin. It is a "fossil-fuel", just like petroleum and natural gas. There are four principal types of coal. Listed in order of lowest to highest heating value, they are Lignite, Subbituminous, Bituminous and Anthracite. Coals are used for fuel, space heating and electricity generation. Cobalt - Used in superalloys for jet engine parts, cutting tools and electrical devices, permanent magnets, catalysts; pigments and dryers for paints and allied products.

What eeighy is Unger Madelaine yarn?
I'll assume your question is: What WEIGHT is Unger Madelaine yarn? Answer: Bulky/12 ply.
What weight is Unger's Roxanne yarn?
It appears that there is no readily available answer to this specific yarn (Unger's Roxanne). The reason is that Unger's went out of business, got bought out by another company, or another reason. One way to figure out what the yarn weight of a ball of yarn would be to knit a stockinette gauge swatch, (or a crochet gauge swatch), then by counting the stitches, for four inches, and dividing by 4, you get an average stitches per inch. From there find your yarn weight at the Yarn Council recommended standards to get a guess at the yarn weight, ---Otherwise, take the yarn to your local yarn shop and see what weight they guesstimate for you <--this is probably your best bet at finding your yarn weight and information, btw
How many inches in a 100 grams of yarn?
Your answer depends on the weight of the yarn -- thread weight yarn weighing a total of 100 grams will contain more yardage than a bulky weight yarn ball weighing 100 grams.
How much yarn in a hank?
Unfortunately, there are no standards for amounts of yarn, which can come in various forms: balls; skeins; hanks; cones are terms which come to my mind quickly. I would say that in my mind, a ball would have less yarn than a skein, which would have less yarn than a hank, and what would generally have the most yardage, would be a cone00but those are MY distinctions, based upon absolutely NOTHING, just how I use the words, unless I am referring to a specific form of a particular yarn. So, for you to find out how much yarn is in a hank, you would have to look at the specific brand of yarn, and read (on the "ball band," the paper band which encircles the hank, or the tag attached to the hank of yarn), and read the actual yardage of that particular yarn hank. Also, be aware that just because Company A had 350 yards of yarn for one variation of their yarn, that all hanks would have 350 yards--it not necessarily true. The other variations could have any amount of yarn in a hank. Therefore, you would need to read the ball band, or tag on the hank to get the amount of yarn in that particular hank, or you could go to the manufacturers website and see if they list how many yards are in the hank. By the way, there are brands, and yarns that are sold that only give the amount in that form of yarn in ounces--no yardage given! Now, that can be fun to convert into approximate yardage!
What is the knitting gauge for cruise yarn by unger?
21 TC =4" : 9 rows
How long is one ounce of yarn?
Depends on the material of the yarn, diameter, etc.
What stores carry Yarn Ball Winders?
There are stores that carry yarn ball winders. One such store is Joann, a fabric and yarn store, and the yarn ball binder there is $40. Another store is Knit Picks. The yarn ball winder there is only $20.
What is the predicate The kitten likes the ball of yarn?
The predicate is, "likes the ball of yarn."
How much yarn is 32 onces?
It really depends on the weight of yarn, 32 oz of worsted weight is different then 32 oz of lace weight. Most bands will have the yardage/meterage on them, if you are still not sure, use a knitty noddy or a yarn swift to measure out the yarn, make sure if you are using one of these tools that you know the measurement of the device that you are using. Knitty noddy's are usually a set meterage/yardage, where as a yarn swift can be adjusted to what ever width you would like.
What size yarn is Unger cruise size 3 needles?
This question isn't very clear, as Unger Cruise is a Belgium made yarn, imported into the US (Unger yarns in New York). And yet, the question also mentions "size 3 [knitting] needles" which is a bit confusing without explanation as to why that is included A Cruise yarn skein is generally 1.4 ounces or 40 grams, 60% acrylic and 40% nylon. However, patterns found for this yarn generally use U.S. size 3 or size 4 needles and have a gauge of 19 stitches for 3 inches of knitting with 2 inches in height making 17 rows. Therefore, a size 3 knitting needle is perfectly fine to use with the Unger Cruise yarn.
Where is the biggest ball of yarn on the east coast US?
The largest ball of yarn in the U.S. is located in Darwin, Minnesota, not on the East Coast. There is no record of a large ball of yarn on the East Coast.
How many yards equal 50 grams of yarn?
You can not determine how many yards from the weight of the skein or cone. 50 grams is 1.75 ounces but it would depend on the exact thickness and type of yarn to know how many yards. The thicker the yarn the less the yards as a rule. Example a 50 gram ball of sport yarn can be anywhere from 110 to 170 yards give or take , but a 50 gram ball of bulky can be anywhere from 30 yards to 60 yards give or take ..
