yay for spotlight! I actually picked up those brochures when I was last there a few days ago. I have made a beanie out of that bamboo yarn and while it has a beautiful feel it nearly drove me nutty as it splits like crazy!

I'm so sorry, I don't know. I'm usually a threadie, although at the moment I'm having lots of fun with some Yarn Bee Labyrinth in neat colors that a friend sent me.

I have used it and I would say yes. I used a 4.5mm hook if that gives you an indication.

Has anyone made up the bolero as yet? I'm about a third of the way in, and I think there's a couple of errors, though I'm not sure because of the location of the possible errors whether I'm right about how to fix it.

 

Thanks

Help! Is Aussie crochet terminology same as US or English?

[Beknic]

Aussie terms are closer to English terms.

For example, in the corn bolero pattern the treble is actually equivalent to the American double crochet, and the Aussie double crochet is equivalent to the American single crochet.

Has anyone ever heard of moda vera corn yarn? I can't find reference to it any place. Does anyone know what weight yarn it is? I love that pattern..

[Beknic]

Moda Vera Corn is actually a Spotlight product. I don't think it is actually available at the moment as it has gone out of season....you can try emailing the customer service people on the Spotlight website and see what they say.

 

All I can tell you about the product is that it's like a woven tube sort of thread, and the packet has the following details:

 

• Composition: 100% Corn Fibre
  
• Grams: 50g
  
• Meterage per ball: Approx. 130m
  
• Needle Size: 4mm
  
• Tension: 20 stitches x 28 rows (10cm x 10cm Square)

I'm not entirely sure what other kind of yarn gives the same finish as this one, but I would say you'd get away with whatever the American equivalent of Australian 8ply is. I also think that Bamboo Cotton would do quite nicely too.

 

Hope this helps!
