Same weight: the weight number when the source gives one, or the brand's weight word (DK, Worsted) when it doesn't.
Length per 100 g within 10% of this yarn's, when both list a ball weight.
Gauge within 10%, when both list one.
Same fiber family: animal fibers (wool, alpaca, silk…), plant fibers (cotton, linen, viscose…) or synthetics (acrylic, nylon…), whichever this yarn has most of.
Closest first: still made before discontinued, then more fiber in common, then closer length per 100 g.
Among yarns that match just as closely, ones sold by our partner shops come first.

Knit a swatch before you start: a different fiber can change your gauge. To add a safety margin, use Skeins for a yarn swap.
