[Nfb-krafters-korner] Yarn

[Sirena Carroll]

Dear Crafters,

We were speaking about yarns at the Monday night chat, but I was a
little confused. Some people were saying 5 and 6 work for the Knifty
Knitter, but nobody described what they meant by 5 and 6. Is that a
weight, a fiber, a ply, a gage...? Are ply and gage the same thing,
etc?

thanks a bunch for any assistance.

Oh, and would anyone recommend an online yarn store, or do you all
just head out to Michaels, AC MOre, etc?
