[NFB-Krafters-Korner] I bought the wrong weight of yarn for the beginner loom knitting class.

That makes sense. :) I'll go ahead and order the Premium Round set, then, as I have no babies to knit for lol. My niece and nephew are toddlers; actually, my niece will be entering kindergarten this year.

Thanks,
Ari
