Three questions to ask yourself
01
What are you making?
Pick the weight your pattern asks for. Swapping is possible, but knit a swatch first.
02
How warm should it be?
Lighter weights drape and breathe. Heavier weights trap air and keep you warm.
03
How fast do you knit?
Bulky yarn grows quickly. Fine yarn takes longer but feels lighter to wear.
