These yarns are not imported to the US, and all the info I have been able to find on the web is from Dutch/German sites. What is the suggested stitch/row gauge and needle size from the ball band? Also knowing the meters/Yardage in a 50 gram ball would help. Thanks, DA

The info is on the ballband, presumably. If you can scan the ballband
- or take a good photo of it - and post it somewhere I'll have a look at it tonight.
Or, post links to the sites you've found it on and I'll have a look. I'm trying to get my outdoor dyestation set up so I can dye bazillion-odd hanks of sock yarn for a show so it'll be tonight or later before I can have a look.
I don't have a ball band, that is the problem. I did find info on Venezia from Yarndex.

if you check the suggested gauge/needle size, it doesn't seem quite right. They are saying it is a bulky yarn with 11 sts=4inches on US 8 needles. The average tension for this type of yarn is usually around 4 sts to the inch on a nine. Due to the nature of the pattern, row gauge does matter.>
Here is a link for the Junghans,

one of those will help you out...as a note, I find that yarnwith mohair content is generally worked on larger needles/hooks toallow for the 'fuzziness' to be apparent; on smaller needles/hooks, themore tightly worked stitches flatten the mohair somewhat. Michelle

Thanks Michelle. I had already found the info on the Lang yarn. Mohair knitted at the suggested gauge for Venezia would produce a very dense, almost felted fabric. The pattern I have which calls for the yarn is lace, ergo the reason for all the confusion on my part. DA
Problem solved. Debbie Bliss has a worsted weight kid mohair that is the very same suggested gauge is those given in the patterns. Thanks to all who offered advice. DA
