Question
ddc
I want to make a shawl that was designed for Lion Brand Microspun, a sport weight yarn. I want to use DK for it. The pattern calls for a G hook - I will probably also use a G with the yarn I'm looking at, or possibly that middle 4.5 mm size.
Would I need about the same yardage, or more, or less?
I'm buying the yarn online, so I can't just run across town and pick up another skein if I'm short, but it's an acrylic/wool blend that I will have no real use for other than this shawl, so I don't wan't buckets of it left over either. It's also a little pricier than I usually buy, so I don't want to go overboard
I've never switched out weights with any yarn that I felt I really had to get the quantity right on the first guess, so I haven't paid much attention to this, and rarely if ever use DK anyway, so don't really have much of a feel for how it works up.
Thanks for any suggestions. I know someone here will know all about this!
