Question
espap
Hi all, has anybody crocheted this privacy wrap from crochet me?
http://www.crochetme.com/Apr_May_2005/patt_privacy_wrap.html
I want to crochet it, but I am lost as to the yarn. The pattern asks for 16oz yarn, that's around 500grs, but doesn't say the yardage. That's problem one.
Second, it asks for sport weight yarn. Hmm... there are many names for yarns, what are the other names for sport weight? Aran? DK? oh, I am so confused.
It asks fro 100% silk chenille? I have found 100% cotton chenille. That will do?
Can I use just cotton or other yarn?
The hook size is 7mm. So do I have to look for yarns that crochet with 7mm hooks? No, because she is using a bigger than recommended hook. So what's the recommended so I can find a suitable yarn?
See why I am confused?
Please share your wisdom!
Esther
