Hey everybody,
I'm planning on knitting the pattern "Tank Top" from Erika Knight's book _Classic Knits: 15 Timeless Designs to Knit and Keep Forever_. The pattern states to use "any super-bulky weight yarn, such as Rowan Big Wool." I wanted to use some yarn from my stash, if possible, and I don't have any super-bulky weight yarn. The gauge that they give for this pattern is 18 sts and 12 rows = 4" (10cm) over St st using size 17 (12mm) needles.
How many strands of worsted weight yarn held together would roughly equal a super bulky weight yarn? I just want to have a starting point so I don't have to keep blindly making swatches. I have searched the web unsuccessfully, trying to find an equivalency chart, etc.
Any advice?
thanks!!
