Question about Plymouth Yukon Print Yarn

The gauge is listed as 2 sts per inch on US 15 needles....so is it Chunky
or Bulky? Also I have been looking for a hat pattern to use with it....just
a simple rib 2x2 with SS for the top part and so far all I can find are for
baby yarns or worsted weight yarn. I want to knit the hats in the round. I
have 10 skeins in 2 different prints and want to make the hats for Christmas
gifts.

TIA for any suggestionsG

Super-bulky.

So knit hats in the round. You know how big you want the hat to be -
do some simple math and cast on for a hat.

Ok I want to do a test hat for me.....my head is 22 inches so I multiply 2
sts per inch and get 44 sts so that is my cast on number? If my knitting
gauge is the same.

Although...most people make caps 10-15% smaller to account for the
fact that knitting stretches...

:
I made a beautiful sweater using the Plymouth Yukon yarn and I love the
sweater. However, it SHEDS a LOT! Sheds all over everything. I walk
around in a haze when I wear it. All over the car, everywhere. Does
anyone have a remedy for the shedding? I sent a letter to Plymouth to
ask what I could do. I am very unhappy about the shedding....
