Now had the chance to knit something with the wool I purchased. I bought the wool to knit my granddaughter items for winter to use with he school uniform. I first knitted a scarf - photo attached. The only issue I had was that I felt it did not knit as a DK but more so a 4ply. The item came out pretty soft. I feel to knit a hat or cardigan I would need to use a thinner needle and increase the size or double the thread and still use the no 8 or 9. Thank you for the purchase and quick delivery. I sure will be back. I'm actually looking for a simple cardigan pattern that can be used over various ages 3 yrs to 9 yrs.
