Oh, quick update - There is also a Size #7 Jumbo Standard Yarn Weight, best for Knitting Needles Size 17 US (12.75 mm) and above. It's fairly new, so it wasn't on my chart!
Thanks for the crash course, im going to knit a special person a scarf for the upcoming winter :)
I started knitting in January, teaching myself from videos and a couple of books, but I'm sure I missed a few things along the way. This course is filling in some gaps, reinforcing stuff I figured out, and a lot of fun!
One thing I wished I'd known when I bought my first supplies? Choose a solid color yarn! It may seem boring (pick one you like) but it's sooooo much easier to see and understand what you're doing.
So great to hear, Deni. YES, I hear you! The solids may not catch your eye in the yarn aisle, but they'll definitely be easier on them while you're knitting.
I'm answering your comment in today's new Q&A video. Thanks so much for being part of the Absolute Beginner Knitting Series! 💗 ua-cam.com/video/2Tv8JCt8wYk/v-deo.html
Great video but I feel Iike I haven’t found a video here on youtube explaining which yarns are suitable for which project? I know the size and weight I want my yarn to be but which is more itchy, which is stretchier, which will hold it’s shape best, which is warmer, are there any popular blends to use for clothing, which will hold up best over time?
Completely agree, I couldn’t find one either and these are the questions we need answers to!
I have been knitting since I was 10 and no one has ever really explained how different weight, fibers and pairing with size of knitting needles work. I have just gone by eyeballing it. How think yarn is to how big of needle. Now noticing diagrams with numbers on balls of yarn makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
So happy my video helps. Wow, you must be good at eyeballing sizes, Melissa.
Studio Knit
Has worked for me but now knowing how to use keys and numbers will help me so much more!
Hey Kristen! Day 2 is super and packed with such great information! I have learned so much already! Wow! This is some valuable stuff to know! Can't go wrong starting off like this. You are beginning this series with excellence! Can hardly wait for Day 3! Thanks Kristen.
Hi, Barbara - Awww, you've made my day! Happy it's helpful to you!
Great tips! I will have to look for that movie lol
Happy Yarn Day, #EarlySquad! Hope you enjoy an easy Action Item Day! And, OMG, that brown ball of yarn.... crazy!
Wow, yeh!
thank you studio knit can't wait for more vidz
What type of yarn do you normally use for most of your knitting projects Kristen?
I am glad you mentioned this i needed to understand more about yarn weight. I use synthetic because i can't touch any kind of wool.
Ah, yes, there are definitely personal reasons we choose certain yarns. Another great benefit to synthetic.

Heloísa Arraia please teach me what yarn to buy to knit a baby's quilt, and how can I obtain the same once here in Portugal we do not have a great variety to choose. Thank you for your advise. God bless.
I recently just got 100% natural alpaca yarn
Tanks very much.
I started with weight 3 yarn and I had to start over. I know how to do a regular knit stitch. I just conquered purl! I am ordering different needles and I will try size 4 yarn this time! Also don't know if I want to do top down or bottom up????😱
I am a newbie knitter. I just went shopping and bought whatever I thought looked pretty 😅 Will it be impossible to use a 8 mm needle set with #4 yarn, or a 6.5 crochet hook with #6 yarn? (I know this is not a crochet video but usually experts are knowledgeable in both.)
For gamer people who are knitters as well. If you have a WiiU or a Nintendo 3DS, get Yoshi's Wooly World. It's an easy game and everything is so cute because the majority of everything is made out of yarn. I'm still working on figuring out how to make a yarn Yoshi.
I just check it out and it's soooo cute!!! I want to live inside Yoshi's Wooly World!! Thanks for sharing with everyone.
I just found a pattern that look pretty good. It's on Ravelry for about $4 US. www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/yoshi-choc-orange-cover---toy

I thought I was too cool for school and ordered multi-color, fuzzy yarn - NOT what Kristen recommended. The swatch I knitted had multiple glitches and extra stitches from row-to-row.
Heed the Studio Knit, folks. Kristen knows what she’s talking about.
Yarn the movie ❤ I will have to check that out. Love day 2
Thanks, Jackie - Yes, I really think you'll love it. Looks like it's available for digital download now, yay!
What do I do if the tag around the ball or hank is not there??
Like is it dk or worsted?
Susan Diedrich I would say the heaver the yarn, the larger the needles. 🤓
Love the classes. Please add helpful hints on how to get acrylics projects soft. And how to mix colors. Mixing colors is stressful when there is so much to choose from.
Cool video, can't wait for more.
Hi, Lily!!! Thanks so much! Hope you have a great day!
Thank you...
Thanks for helping me choose my yarn. I love bright color mixes, but plan to start with soft pink
Hi, Barbara - You're so welcome Soft Pink is so pretty, too.
studio kits
Always super excited about your vids thank you
Awww.... so great to hear. Thanks, Angeline!
+angeline angela I just saw your Bubble Hat on Pinterest. Omg, love it!!!!!! 💗
i just finished my first project and i apparently did everything wrong lmao. used a fine DK (although i upped my needle size to 5mm from the recommended 4), in a colour gradient that ends in black oops.
hey guys, does anyone know what yarn would work with chopsticks?
Is yarn the same as wool. And can you still knit with wool
Wool is a type of yarn, yes.
HI Kirsten, Opal from Toronto, Canada. LOOOOOOOVE this new series. Surely will help. What about yarn that is in bag from manufacturers that doesn't have any information of the kind of yarn, or knitting needle sizes? How do we determine projects as well without this vital information.
I tend to use acryllic, but i might try cotton yarn
will you be covering circular needles?
I have a great Circular Needle tutorial for you already, yay! ua-cam.com/video/p1bZ1hj8Qg8/v-deo.html
yes i found it... Thank you
The Yarn I bought from the store doesn't have those numbers on the label. So I am a bit confused lol. I bought some 7mm Needles along with it.
You use Lion Brand? Omg I use that too!
Yay! Yes, I knit with a whole bunch of different yarns. Lion Brand has some great affordable options!
