Hallo to all
i have an other question
it is also knitting related
on that knitting event in Holland were i found those lovely knitting
needles i was also there as an seller of our threads
and quite often we were confronted whit a question i did not directly
had an aswer for
they asked if it
Hello Francis,
they asked if it was laceweight, and other teminolegy concerning
the thickness of the threads
A few years ago, I bought from you in Germany, at a DKV congress, 50%
qiuviut 50% silk and I knitted a lace shawl with needles 3.5 mm. I
would think this thread is laceweight
Hello Francis and everyone
there doesn't seem to be a standard measure for the knitting yarns in Nm
etc., the measuring is comparative, that is to say, what size fabric you can
knit.
I found a general discussion here:

too many metric
terms there. Wish there were! This is where I go when I am struggling with
yarn translations.
