I bought some yarn manufactured by a German company. For needle size it shows 2,5 3,5. I'm not familiar with needle sizes using commas. I've checked several sites on the net and couldn't find an answer. Can anyone here help. Thanks

Europeans often use commas where we would use periods. And their knitting needle sizes are measured in millimeters. The table I found says that 2.5 mm is between an American 1 and 2, and a 3.5 mm is an American
4.
