[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Trying to pick a yarn for the knitting class this coming Thursday.

Don't you have any lion brand super saver?
This is just for learning so you do not need to buy any special yarn!
Use something you have in your home.  Hold off buying the new yarn, until
you  master the skill.

this coming Thursday.

Hello, everyone,


I'm trying to pick a yarn for the knitting class coming up this Thursday. I
didn't see Knitpicks brand on Amazon, but I came across this. I'm trying not
to leave the house too much, except for grocery shopping; my husband also
went on a little hike with the dogs because our caben fever was just getting
to be too much. Anyhow, I was wondering what people thought of it. Has
anyone used it? How soft is it?

Bernat Satin Solid Yarn, 3.5 oz, Gauge 4 Medium Worsted, 100% Acrylic, Soft
Red

I had to Google how many yarns came in a scane, as Amazon didn't tell me.
Also, on a related note, I'm finding out that a lot of places will give you
a gauge, but they'll only give you half the information you need, like 8 STS
per inch on U.S. 8 needles; they leave out the rows per inch. Also, not sure
why they choose to write it as x stitches per inch, rather than as x
stitches per 4 inches--I mean, your gauge swatch is a 4-inch by 4-inch
square. That's the way it's written on the yarn label for the Bernat yarn I
bought. I find this rather annoying, since the info is on the label--why not
put that on the on-line info, too? Sheesh!


Thanks,
Ari
