Jamie Classic is small!

Small skeins I mean.. they're smaller than Caron which is smaller than Red Heart which is what I'm used to getting... I sure am glad I bought 9, hope they'll be enough! I've got my peach tho...

That is fingering weight yarn. When I started out crocheting in the 60's there were so many types and colors of fingering weight yarn, it wasn't funny. Now it is very limited. I believe a long time ago, fingering weight and baby weight were the same.

I knew the skeins were 2 1/2 oz. I did refer you to Smileys and it in the yarn description. I don't care if the skeins are smaller. It is really nice ww yarn and a lovely shade of peach!

 

Lorry

yeah I saw the weight, but oz doesn't register with me unless it's liquid! lol! I've never seen skeins like this... ah well, it's so pretty, what a pretty peach!

Jamie classic is WW, not fingering. There are other Lion Brand Jamie yarns in different weights. BTW per the Lion site it's discontinued??

 

You will need to make sure that you have enough yardage for your project, don't go by ounces. Example, RH Classic 3.5 oz skein has 190 yards, the Jamie Classic 2.5 oz skein has 116 yards. So, you have 9x116=1044 yards, which would be equal to the yardage of 5 1/2 skeins of RH.

Funny, this thread caught my eye. I just came across a skein of Jamie in some stuff I inherited/acquired (yard sale I think). My skein of Jamie says "Bonus Bundle" (pompadour baby yarn) and has 785 yards on it, so it looks about the size of a regular/average skein of RH or something.

 

(7 oz for this size skein)

I also buy it from Smileys, this is what I made the last travelghan out of and it took 15 skeins.... I love the color selection and the price!!!
