Weight to Yardage by
hesira
Hi Everyone,
I have a question. My MIL gifted me with some undyed handspun NZ
merino. The yardage is written on the label, but I'm not sure where
to begin with the gauge. It's approximately 388 meters and weighs 5
oz. How does one figure the weight to yardage (in this case meterage
I guess)...

Suggestions needed by
spampot[_2_]
Knowing how many UFOs -- well, to be honest, UnStarted Projects (USPs) I
have at home, I was VERy virtuous at the Maryland Sheep & Wool Festival
yesterday; only succumbed to a few super-bargains (then I spent $$ on
unusual garden plants at the herb-&-plant tent). So what would be a
good...

Name that fleece by
Vintage Purls
Hi all,
You excellent advice is sought. I bought (via online auction) what I
thought was a kilo of merino (that's what they called it in the
auction description). It arrived today and it's most certainly not
merino. I suspect it's English Leicester but I thought I ask you to
try identifying...

English combs?? by
No Name
OK. The espinner works.
That sets up an appetite for combed top. And, that means English Combs.
If I am going to be working with fleece from traditional English breeds,
such as Cotswold, & Romney:
How thick should the teeth of my combs be?
How far apart should the teeth be?
How many rows?

sizing crochet/knitting thread? by
myswendy
Ok, I give up. I'm going all over the internet trying to find a site
that explains how thread is sized. I have a cute pattern for a sweater
vest for a doll that calls for a particular size, but when I went to
the store (without the directions, of course), I got home and
discovered I had bought the...

Sunday 5/6 by
WoolyGooly
Monster Fake Faeroese is finished, except for ends and a photo op.
Weather has been crummy (gray, overcast, humid as hell) so I'm not in
a hurry to darn in ends and sweat in a shawl big enough to use as a
4-person tent while my husband fumbles around with the camera.
Started a new cardigan for me....

Paton's Evening Belle by
Margaret
I got 10 balls of black Evening Belle in a charity shop last week but have
been unable to find any patterns for this, or indeed any information at all.
I tried knitting a swatch with 5 1/2mm needles (as on band) to see if I
could use a Dune pattern (same needles recommended). However, the...

sewing fabric backing to knitting by
myswendy
Hi everyone!
I'm just completing that rush job of a piano-key scarf. I've decided
to back it in black satin. I'm thinking that I can't do it like
regular fabric by stitching it inside out and turning because then,
I'd have lumpy edges.
I am thinking of making my own seam binding out of the same...

Does anyone have some helpful advice for me? One of my wee oak
treelings is covered with galls this year. They're already beginning
to turn brown (would swear I read the little wasps won't emerge until
December!) and DH is making noise as if he's going to cut them away to
"improve" the appearance...

Can anyone here point me to a link that might at least have

Jim's Jumper by
Bernadette
Last week I bought the yarn and started a jumper for my son. The
pattern I got from the web wasn't any use as it is knitted in Aran
yarn/worsted weight (too thick for Texas, he says) so had to get one
for double knitting/sportweight.
The main body and sleeves are in a variation of fisherman's rib...
