Hello!
I am a beginner knitter. I really want to make these bears:
m.youtube.com/watch?v=M0xehCq2nsg
The pattern says 100% Acrylic, 4 ply, DK, worsted yarn. In the video she says (and repeats in the comments) “make sure it’s 4 ply”.
Well I am super confused because apparently 4 ply, DK and worsted are all different?!
What’s more I have just gone and bought four balls of King Cole big value baby 4 ply yarn, only to find when it arrived that it has just 3 strands (it SAYS 4 ply on it though!!) The wool I have bought seems much finer than the wool she is using in the video. I have no idea what to try next, DK? Will it have 4 strands though?! Apparently DK is 10 ply though, and worsted even more!!
Pretty please, can an experienced knitter help me out and just let me know what wool I need for this?!
I will be forever grateful.
