I think you did a very admirable job of explaining yarn and all it's idiosyncrasies. With so many people doing so many things with so many different types of fibers thank goodness we have a somewhat agreed upon way of classifying them otherwise we would never get around to actually making something. For a non spinner you explained "worsted" pretty well.

As well as repeating some of the things you mentioned, Cheryl, I thought I would add some extra information about UK yarn weight, you may not know of or have thought about. In the UK, yarn weight (diameter) goes back to the days of yore, when they hand spun yarn. The yarn weights were made up of how many plys they had and 1 ply was always the starting point and very fine thread... They made the yarns thicker by adding more ply and at one time 4ply became a standard weight, made up of 4 single plys. Which of course was called 4ply and was classed as “knitting wool”. Then people wanted something thicker, so they doubled the plys of “knitting wool” which of course made 8 ply or more commonly known, double knitting because it was double the thickness of knitting wool - 4ply. Aran came next and was an extra 2ply added to double knitting, which made it thicker and the name came from the Aran Islands in Ireland, the first Aran weight yarns were intended to be waterproof and were ideal for fishermen, both because of the waterproof properties that the fibres of the ply and the heavier weight of the final knitted sweaters kept them warm... Traditionally an Aran or Irish sweater would have fishermans rib, cables and some other intricate stitches, they all told a tale about the fisherman that wore them... The cables for one, symbolising the ropes they used. Of course with yarn spinning being automated these days and not widely hand spun, yarns can be made up of thicker single plys and not as many of them, but still have the same yarn thickness overall, of course, old habits die hard and the description of yarn weight hasn’t changed since the early days and probably never will.

Part of worsted spinning is the short draw technique used to produce the yarn. If you use a combed top with a short draw method you will get what some spinners refer to as a "true" worsted yarn. Using the same combed top with a long draw technique is descibed as "semi-worsted" because it won't have as smooth a finish as a "true" worsted yarn. "semi-woolen° is a carded roving that is spun with a short draw and "true" wollen is carded roving spun with a long draw. Each one has a different amount of fuzziness and elasticity. Its good to keep this in mind if you are shopping for handspun online since you can't feel the yarn up front.

Knitting with Cheryl Brunette Fern explained this so we'll - thanks! If I understand correctly, the short draw compresses the combed fiber the most and results in the least amount of air in the spun yarn. That creates the smoothest texture and higher luster of worsted spun yarn. BTW, great video with lots of info presented in a friendly, easily understandable manner : )

@andychen73909 жыл бұрын
Here's a tip: Use a variety of yarn thicknesses, do not look at the yarn label. Use a variety of hooks to determine the kind of fabric you like. The fabric you like, what does it mean? It's subjective, it's your opinion. My suggestion, make the fabric you would want to wear and base it off that. Don't solely depend on what yarn hook the yarn label suggests. I know a friend who uses a 3.50 mm or 3.75 mm crochet hook for a yarn that suggests a 6.00 mm hook because she crochets so much looser than the "average" crocheter. (Thar's a good video suggestion actually, hook/needle sizes and tension) Experiment so that when you look at a yarn and its thickness, you have a preliminary guess as to which hook to use. There are times when a particular yarn may stray from your guess, like silk yarn or novelty yarns, but that's ok. That's experience for the future when you encounter similar yarns.

Merci bien Amyah. DK is a light worsted weight in the US and an 8-ply by the British system. There is no trick to finding the needle size except the very good practice of guessing. How thick is it? How thin? Start with a guess. Make a swatch of 30 to 36 sts and 3 or 4 inches. Do you like the fabric? That's the only important thing.

I have a question. Can a larger ply (more strands) yarn be considered as a tighter woven yarn? Meaning, are more fibers densely spun in several strands, or can a, say 3 ply have just as many fibers per diameter as a light worsted 4 ply? I am wondering if this can change a project entirely by its gauge.
@CherylBrunetteTV6 жыл бұрын
Hi Saundra. Not necessarily. The number of plies is independent of how tightly they are spun together. You can, for example, have a single ply bulky weight or one with many plies and they can yield similar, maybe even identical, gauges. The only way to be sure of your gauge in ANY project is to make a healthy-sized gauge swatch of the yarn you want to use and measure it carefully . . .
