knitting with 2 strands held together
  •  
    I have a pattern that calls for holding 2 strands of wool together. I love the pattern but dont' want to use 2 strands. If I knit it normally with one strand will the sweater turn out correctly?
  • It will be looser. Like using a yarn that is somewhat thin with bigger needles. Whether that will work depends on your project, I have knitted with one strand instead of two with a fluffy mohair yarn and it turned out nice but I would advise you to knit a swatch w/ two yarns and then one with 1 yarn and compare.
