Dear Francis, Here is a link to a table of needle sizes:
http://www.heirloom-knitting.co.uk/needle_sizes.html As you can see American needles sizes are numbered differently. I still treasure my German Holz and Stein ebony needles - they're no longer sold here. Best wishes, renee in Tucson USA - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected]. For help, write to [email protected]
