[NFB-Krafters-Korner] Wow! Weight 4 yarn is so, so thin!

[Cathy Flesher]

Hi Ari,

If you find that the medium 4-ply weight is too thin for you to work with, don’t give up on knitting, just try 5-ply bulky-weight or even 6-ply super-bulky weight. If you do change to a thicker weight, don’t forget that you will need a larger sized needle and perhaps even a longer needle. It all depends on what you want to make. 
So, as you say, give what you have a try, I just don’t want you to get discouraged if the medium weight yarn is too thin for you for now. Eventually, if you keep knitting, you will be able to use it with ease.


May God bless you.
 Cathy F

The Aira agent described it as a soft yellow-brown almost like bage, then deep earthy red-brown, then fern--which she discribed as being like a light green, then deep leaf green. It sounded really pretty. Lol when I asked if she thought it was kind of "elfy," she agreed with me. Made me think of a forest. Anyhow, It's so thin-feeling! What popped into my head right away was that it felt like Spaghetti, which then change to angel hair pasta. I'm not sure how much I like yarn this thin, but we'll see, I guess.

One of the Amazon reviews specifically mentioned using them with the sheath, so imagine my annoyance when I opened the envelope everything came in, only to find that there was no sheath with the scissors. :( That's another return I'm going to have to make to Amazon. I looked forever to find ones that came with sheaths that weren't too pricey and had good reviews! I should've just gone with the first ones I found, since the description specifically mentioned them coming with a sheath. Ah, well, live and learn, I guess. I was trying to avoid going above $10. I should've just done so. Or asked Aira to have a look at the pictures.
