Crafty Threads 'n' Yarns

Binty · Posted: Fri May 29, 2009 11:45 am Post subject: What weight would this knit as?

I got some Foxy which is lovely and I want to knit it with another yarn to make a firmer (stuffable) fabric, so my question is:-

if I used foxy and aran what would that knit to? or what would foxy and DK be? or even foxy and chunky?

Or is the foxy so thin it wouldnt make any difference?

I know this probably doesn't help, but I would knit a swatch and experiment with needle size until I got the right sort of fabric I was after...
I think the Foxy will add to the carry along yarn, and it would depend on the finished sized toy I was making as to whether I used it with DK or aran.

Sorry not to be any more use

Foxy is actually quite a thick fur yarn & the rec needle size is 7mm. It would knit up chunky with dk & even chunkier with aran, perhaps needing 9-10mm pins??
