However, Ravelry has a little bit different weight standards.

Next to the Weight above, there is a ?. If you click on it, you should see a pop up menu with Ravelry’s standard weights. Though we put Alpaca Lace in the Lace category on our site and labels (as the Craft Yarn Council standards makes this yarn truly Lace weight), it technically falls in the Fingering category on this site at 28 sts per 4”on a US 2. The weight category should not affect the patterns used but to be consistent with Ravelry’s weight standards, we have placed Alpaca Lace in the Fingering category.
