Default I have a question?

The biggest problem with using Red Heart in skeins is having to wind it
and change out the yarn all the time. It will not hurt your machine at
all.

The red heart yarn is the size of the dk,yes I guess that is what you call
it the 3 and 4 ply worsted weight , that you can handknit or crochet with
.I was just wondering if it is or is not recommended that the 3 or 4 ply
yarn could be knitted on the machine .Would it cause pits in the machine
bed?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Stella,

I have a Brother KH270 and I can knit DK at between T1 or 2 , and aran and
chunky at higher numbers. If you mean US worsted weight, which I
understand is between DK and aran in thickness, then I would think you
could use it at a fairly low tension.
