Hi Karanda, This was a DK weight yarn 🙂 All the best, Rhondda
Okay thank you. What bulk is this yarn? I can’t seem to find it.
Hi Karanda, That should have read “Ch 3” not “Sk” I apologize! I’ve corrected the error. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!! Rhondda
Could you please tell me what chain 3 I am supposed to skip r2 of the ear warmer?
