i AM A NEWBY PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE ANSWER WITH THIS QUESTION…
WHAT DOES THE 6 MEAN IN THIS SUPPLY LIST?
Yarn Weight: (6) Super Bulky/Super Chunky (4-11 stitches for 4 inches)
I SEE THIS IS SEVERAL PATTERNS BUT DON’T KNOW WHAT THE NUMBER SIGNIFIES.
THANKS.
It means the weight number of the yarn. 4 is worsted weight, 5 is bulky, so 6 as it says is Super Bulky.
