[Nfb-krafters-korner] 8 ply yarn

[Blindhands at aol.com]

Is this is 8 ply cotton yarn?  If it is cotton yarn this will become  much 
softer to the touch as you make whatever you are going to make.  It  softens 
up as you work it.
 
Use yourKNFB reader to read the label for suggested needle size and  gauge.

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.
