Hi Lily and everyone with a website,
I do take pictures with my Iphone but I have someone sighted take a
look before I post them anywhere. I have found that they must
sometimes be repositioned when I transfer them to my computer as they
appear upside down!
I have a wordpress site but it's completely unrelated to crafting.

> Hi all,
>
> I have a question about yarn specifications. I recently bought a
> couple skeins of Red Heart shimmer yarn for a scarf; on the website,
> it said that it was a medium worsted weight yarn. When I got it
> however, it was a lot thinner than the worsted weight that I was used
> to. When I think of worsted weight, I think of yarns like super saver
> or something similar. This yarn feels more like dk weight or sport. Am
> I missing something here or is it a mislabel? I did some research on
> other websites too and they also specify it as a "medium worsted
> weight." Does the medium mean anything? I'm just super confused at the
> moment.
