[Nfb-krafters-korner] 8 ply yarn

[Cindy Osborne]

HI TERRY,
REGARDING THE 8 PLY VERIGATED, TRY MAKING A 4X4 INCH SWATCH ON NEEDLES AND LOOM 
AND SEE WHICH YOU PREFER FOR SOFTNESS.
HENRY

Henry and Joyce; ... loomers and knitters;

I just bought some verigated, 8 ply yarn and am trying to deside weather to use 
it for knitting or on the kk loom.  I am kind of surprised at the feal of it.  
Will it be soft enough for a baby.  It kind of reminds me of soft rope, kind of 
mushy.  I am fearful the kind of kk looming we are doing, a baby would get their 
fingers caught in the stitches.  I think I might be better off knitting it or 
doing it on the circular loom.  The baby is due in July.
What size 10.5 circular needle would I need and for 18-20 inches, how many 
stitches would that be?
Sorry for so many questions, but I have no knitting books.  I thought I had some 
but it was just the catalog, I told you all about.
Terry P.
