[Nfb-krafters-korner] question for joyce and those in sockclass--opinions needed

[Theresa Taylor]

It does come out differently with different yarn I think. I tried using Lion 
Bran thick and chunky or whatever it is called....and I switched to a 
thicker yarn and then another thinner yarn with it...so two strands at once 
to give it thickness...but yet still have some snugness. I remember in class 
they described the Circus yarn as kinky...so I took two types of yarn and 
went for kinky and I like it alot better.
I hope this makes sense.
Theresa
