Help on comparing yarn weights?

Anyone have any idea what weight Lion Brand 'homespun' would be? I've made a baby blanket out of it, and I want to make the same pattern out of a worsted weight, but am confused at figuring out how much yardage I need (an important issue since the yarn I *heart* is on ebay and I need to make sure I get enough). I've read the label and it doesn't say.

Would it be a worsted weight do you think? I'm not sure it's thick enough to be "chunky".

And, addendum question... if you don't think the homespun compares with worsted, how would you convert yardages of one to the other? There's gotta be some sort of gizmo or website to do this, but damned if I can find it...

Thanks, girlies. :o) (and guys too!)
