Yarn standardised
by: Barbara

I don't know if anybody is seeing this right now, but I am from Australia (at present vacationing in Texas), recently I purchased Yarn in Australia, which was an Australian 8-Ply, on the actual label, it had a small square with a 3 written in it and the letters US above it. I have used this yarn on many projects and while I never worry too much about stitch or row gauges when doing craft projects. I have found this yarn to be as close as we are going to get. I love the overseas patterns but do sometimes get frustrated because I never know what the conversion of US to Australian wools is. Hope this helps.

A bit confused!

Hi Abi

Could you email me with these instructions. I am a bit confused as to what I should do with regard to this.
