Look at this massive pile of squishiness.
Today I tallied up the yardage of all the corriedale.
I say more than 1,500 yards because I counted up all my loops, did the math and wrote the number down. Then I turned around and there was one more skein of handspun hanging from a door handle.
By the time I saw it I was not in the mood for counting any more. I saw that skein, went "NOOOOO!" and proclaimed 1,500!
I did a WPI check on several of the skeins and it looks like I have 2-ply worsted weight.
The pattern I saw on knitty.com the other day calls for a DK weight yarn. That pattern will not work.
Do I look for a sweater pattern that was designed with handspun in mind, or just got for a regular pattern?
