Yarn Weight

I love this CDV because it shows the wide variety of yarn weights available. (click to embiggen)

The boy's socks are made from what is likely a very fine cotton. That scarf is made from very thick wool, far thicker than worsted. It's variegated too!

Here's a close-up:

  1. This is really neat. You don't get to see socks close up very often.

  2. I can't quite get the image clear enough, but it looks like the scarf could be a crocheted puff-type stitch.

  3. That looks like some pretty thick yarn in the fringe of the scarf.

  4. It's crazy thick! I've seen some shawls with similarly thick fringe. It almost looks like a modern bulky weight.
