US and UK knitting needle sizes?

Can anyone help me with the different needle sizes? There was a very useful
post some time ago and although I printed it and put it away safe I can't
find the printout. (Tidiness never pays :-) ! ) Also what are the
different types of yarn in the US and the comparable yarn in the UK eg.
worsted? 4 ply, 3 ply 2 ply. Are they the same as the English equivalent?

Have been so busy spinning that knitting has taken a bit of a back seat -
but want to try a lovely little hat but it is an American pattern and am not
sure what needle sizes and yarn type to use.

Please help

Love to all

Hi Noreen

Many thanks :-)

Hope all is well with you and, of course, everyone else. I am working up to
a 'New Year's Resolution' of not trying to do more than I can cope with! My
Mother always called it 'biting off more than you can chew'! Think I have
to cut back and spend more time in the newsgroup. Having said that I have
managed to complete about 15 scarves, three little jumpers, a knitted
handbag and an Aran cardigan. I am now making an Aran jumper for myself but
I have run out of steam.......

Had a great event with my charity, Action Cancer, called 'The Moon's a
Balloon' where we launched nearly 2000 pink balloons from Northern Ireland
with labels asking the finder to return it to us and we would send them a
prize for the one that travelled the farthest. I got a reply from Slovakia!
(which was the farthest) and one from Germany! Lots arrived back from
Yorkshire and Nth Lincs in England. I am in the process of writing to all
the people who sent back labels and thanking them for taking the trouble.

I think all of that is OT........

All the best
Andee

Your order went yesterday. You should have received a UPS tracking number by email.
