YARNS: Yarns vary in size, twist and texture. Use the “Dawn” Yarn
indicated in the directions as only an experienced expert knitter knows
how to allow for the difference when a substitution is made. It is also
very important to purchase all the yarn needed at one time as different
dye lots frequently have different shades of color.
When you purchase your yarn always check the dye lot number to make
certain they are all the same. It is much wiser to purchase a little
extra yarn than to try and match the dye lot after your garment is
finished. Though the color may look the same in the skein more often
than not the difference will be seen in the finished work. The “ply” of
yarn means the number of strands twisted together. This can be seen by
taking the end of the yarn and untwisting.
