ISO Yarn

From: Ellice

..... If the carrier yarn is
really thin, you could just pair it with a non-eyelash, and knit them
together -
that helps sometimes. .......

HUH??? Is the carrier yarn the one that the eyelash stuff is stuck to? I
have metal needles -- they are OLD -- LOLOL! I'll have to get some of the
size Cheryl recommends!! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Yes - you figured it right out. I'm thinking you're using some smaller metal
needles - definitely try the bigger ones - 10-13 (I think I've been using 10
1/2 as the smallest with some of the funkier yarns, mostly I'm using even
bigger needles. Give it a try!

There are some eyelash type yarns that are lengrhs of different stuff kind of
knotted together all in one huge skein. Some are really interesting, but on a
very fine, thin yarn as the base, so it can be a good idea to knit together
with another yarn. Others are just fine on their own. Just play away - have
fun!

Mary,

Those eyelash yarns knit like a dream! they just slide along. Try a 10-13
needle.

You also need to get about 2-3 inches knit before they look decent.
Anything under an inch resembles some sort of bug sitting on your
needles.

True, very true!
