Yarn weight?

[mecread]

I would like to do some wool longie's for my DS, but what weight would be the best?

I think I would use worsted weight. Do you have a pattern in mind?

wool-ease yarn would be warm enough, if son is older. A wool that's washable would probably be the best.

 

Depending on age of son, you might want to make it out of sport yarn and use a thermal stitch. Example: if your son is 4 or 5, 4 ply yarn may be too heavy to be under clothes.

 

A waffle stitch would be great as it has the thickness like thermal underwear.

I agree that you would want a finer weight for this. (if longies are what I think they are )

 

I may not be able to use that fine weight yarn for big projects but I truly love how it works for them. :dreaming

I will not put them under anything, and the are going to be lanionised too

I use Cloth diapers and I have seen cute ones on some of the CD'ing boards.. no I will need a pattern too.
