What about metric paper sizes?

FAQ: Frequently Asked Questions about the metric system
In metric units, this paper's grammage is 75 g/m2 (sometimes seen as "gsm"), meaning, of course, that a sheet 1 square meter in area weighs 75 grams. The non-metric equivalent, 20 lb, is its basis weight or substance, and means that 500 sheets cut to the basis size - for bond paper, 17 by 22 inches - weigh 20 pounds.

Please include the symbol at the beginning of any post you feel might trigger other members. Please respect the no numbers rule..

Can I show the weights and sizes in imperial units?

Coincat, FAQ
Not at present. Sorry. As well as being only English speakers, we are children of the metric generation. Like multi language support, we see it as a higher priority to improve the quality of the information in the database than attempt to translate what data there is into different measurement bases. The metric system is good, trust us. In the future perhaps we will add imperial conversion, but do not hold your breath. back to top

What is your favorite cable needle and what is your favorite aran type yarn?

FAQs
I don't use a cable needle. My very favorite aran-type yarn was some handspun I bought at the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival a few years ago. Natural cream colored, it was a merino rambouillet blend and heaven to work with. I knitted an Inishmore out of it this past summer. My favorite other than that is Bovidae Farm's fisherman weight wool.

How many strands of floss or yarn should I stitch with and with what size needle?

Customer Support -- FAQ
We recommend using 2 strands of floss with 14 count fabric or higher and 3 strands with less than 14 count to achieve good coverage. If the background is a solid dark color we suggest using 3 strands for that area as well. Use a #24 or #26 tapestry needle when using floss. Tapestry wool is non divisible and you should use a #16 or #18 tapestry needle when using yarn.

Is the Gorilla-Lift adjustable for different sizes and weights of tailgates?

Gorilla-Lift.com
Gorilla-Lift is fully adjustable; lighter weight tailgates will not pop up off the ground and heavier tailgates will not fall to the ground. When properly adjusted most tailgates will float up and down and stay in any position that you leave it. Gorilla-Lift fully encloses the lifting system. This is a very important design feature which helps to prevent injuries and also keeps people from getting a finger, hand or any other item caught and cut off in the lifting system.

Do your shipping weights or box sizes ever change?

NationalGift.com - Gift Basket Drop Ship Program - Frequentl...
Yes, but not often. In the case of gift baskets, we try to always order the exact same container (basket). However, thanks to many of you, we sometimes sell out of a specific container and need to send the gift out with a slightly different basket design. We will always ship the product if it is at all possible. For example, we may on occasion change from a tall, narrow basket to a shorter wide one.
