Double knit varies, it is just a rough guide. The thicker colours such as lipstick get filled with dye which adds volume, where the pale colours are thinner because they retain less dye colour. I try and compensate by crocheting a bit looser if I have a thinner yarn colour.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
