[Nfb-krafters-korner] Yarn question

[Barb Roland]

Neva, I have used the two strands as one quite often, but was hoping to find 
the bulky so I'd only have to use one strand, therefore less costly, lol 
(hubby has been eyeballing my yarn stash and saying "you need more?" lol)
I found a you tube video this morning on makeing a placemat and it looked 
like he was using 4 strands of cotton, he wa using the long loom and doing 
the figure 8 double knit wrap.
