[Nfb-krafters-korner] yarn question

[Eileen Scrivani]

Carol:

Fingering weight is very fine It is thicker than sewing thread, but its the 
type of yarn that gets used on knitting needles sizes from 1 to 3.  I 
suggest for your first attempt if gauge is not important, using a DK weight. 
If you want contact me off list and I can give you some pointers for beads & 
getting them on.

Eileen
