What is double/single yarn?

[strangepixie]

Hello all!

 

I recently received a pattern to make a dress.

The pattern says "work with a double yarn".

 

I am totally confused as to what this means. Later on it says use "sing yarn." I googled to see what these things mean but I keep getting different answers. Can anyone help me in this respect?

It probably means to work with either one or 2 strands of yarn. What pattern is it from?

This is what im working on: http://www.etsy.com/listing/87109498/crochet-pattern-ladys-dress-no-221

 

This is what it says before the pattern instructions:

100 % cotton 600g . One ball - g 100 mt 700 ( 10 ply )) . http://www.adriafil.com

Work with a double yarn . 1.00 , 1.25mm crochet hook. USA terms.

Although I would probably write to the Pattern Author, looking at the picture and taking into consideration that the Pattern Author's first language may not be "American" English,

 

If the "bra" section is where they are calling for double yarn, then I think it means two strands held together.

 

If you wrote to the author, you may want to be quite specfic in your question, i.e.,

 

"when you instruct "double yarn" do you mean two strands held together as you work.

 

Enjoy The Making

She clearly states that she'll gladly help with instructions if needed so I would email or pm her and ask.

Thanks to everyone. It is the bra part im making and yes it did mean hold two strands together. I get quicker replies from this site than from her :/

Most designers aren't attached to their computer for 'business hours'. There's only one of her and a bunch of villers at any given time.

That's what I would take it to mean also. When it says to work with it double, use 2 strands at once. When it says to work with it single, use just 1 strand.
