what size knitting needle does well with 4 ply worsted weight yarn?
just asking…. It seems I have been stumped. Just regular yarn, nothing special.
it is for a knit skirt. The original pattern is for a child, size 4-5T. I am adapting it for worsted weight yarn, and my skirt. The original pattern, on the Lion brand website, is a chunky – weight type yarn, called thick n quick chennille, and fancy fur. Both of which I do not like, and I want to use a 4 ply and worsted weight, with a nice ” drape” to it. Not flinsy, but not stiff either. I hope this helps.
If you are making a pattern that someone else wrote, you should use the needle size they specify. And be sure to do a gauge swatch so that you know your results will exactly match theirs (if not, try a size smaller or larger needles as needed to meet the gauge requirement)
If you are making your own pattern, you’ll probably find that a needle between a size 7 US and 9 US will give you pleasing results. You can definitely use smaller needles to get a thicker and somewhat less flexible hand to your fabric; larger needles result in a looser, more flexible fabric.
Most manufacturers will also give a recommended needle size on the ballband of the yarn; if you don’t have this, check their website.
