On my keyboard, it is on the same key as the tilde (~). Answer Wiki. As Daniel Super pointed out, it's called a grave accent. As Andrew Wygle pointed out, it's also often referred to as a backtick when it comes to programming. Others may also refer to it as a backquote.

What does âyarn weightâ mean? The term âyarn weightâ refers to the thickness of the thread, not the weight of the ball or even of the thread itself. As different fibres have different densities, a metre of a fluffy aran wool may weigh less than a metre of 4ply cotton, even though the aran is the âheavierâ yarn.
A new person to crochet recently asked me what the 4 ply yarn I stated I used in my pattern meant and if it had anything to do with gauge. 4 ply is the weight of the yarn or thickness and is also called medium . It really means 4 strands of thinner yarn have been twisted together to produce that yarn. You find the weight of the yarn usually just above the name of the yarn something like: Worsted - Medium - 4.
