Cygnet Yarns Tension GaugeI bought some Cygnet Superwash DK and some Wool Rich 4plyfrom John Lewis the other day and I'm confused by the recommended tension on the ballband.
The DK states that it knits to 19sts and 26 rows on 3.25 - 4mm needles and the 4 ply knits to 22sts and 30 rows on 2.75 - 3.25mm needles. Both state that they knit to DK patterns and 4ply patterns respectively  but this doesn't sound like the correct tension at all!! I've checked on the aran weight I bought recently and it states 18sts and 22rows. The DK and 4ply feel 'normal' to me and no any thicker at all. I'm confuzzled 
Anyone knitted with this brand of yarn and found that the tension is not quite what you expected it to be?
edited becuz I've been tool ong on this flippin' lapptop and my speeling iz crop...
