Sun Oct 8 12:37:26 UTC 2023

Many years ago, I used 4 strands of 4 ply yarn on size 35 needles. It made quite an afghan.

I made something with very thick yarn, and I think I used size 17 needles.  So fat they were a bit hard to use.  They might even have been size 19.  Broomsticks!

It is super bulky, very thick. I am using size 11 needles.

Hi, Bernese,

I'm a little confused. :) You mention that the yarn you're using is size 6, but you seem to think this is really thin. The only thing I've heard of that sounds similar to what you're talking about is weight 6, AKA super bulky yarn, but this is, as the name implies, quite thick. Could you have perhaps meant whatever thickness of yarn (maybe size 4 or worsted) that you'd use with size 6 needles?

Thanks,
Ari
