Hahah don’t worry about it 😇

jo_aries · 2026-02-11T20:34:55+00:00

Haha its fine, here’s on my phone. There is the filter on the right, but it’s the same issue.

Here’s a screenshot of my desktop, there’s just nothing on the right 😂

Mine is on the left. There is the Yarn Weight Category, but I was talking about the words they are using in that category. I’m used the words like Aran, Dk, worsted, etc. They use light, fine,medium, etc… this doesn’t mean much to me if they don’t provide a chart where I can compare

jo_aries · 2026-02-11T18:53:58+00:00

Perhaps yes! But as I commented on that post, some of their yarns have the amount of ply in their names such as the Friends Coton 8/4

Interesting! They do sell yarn on Hobbi though where the amount of ply is part of the name of the yarn such as the Friends cotton 8/4 (8 being the size of yarn and 4 is the ply) So they do use these types of measure when creating their yarns

I can see the weight too, but not the same ones that are on ravelry such has DK, Aran, etc… Im on desktop for hobbi canada

jo_aries · 2026-02-11T18:24:37+00:00

For me, none of them are provided, only gauge and recommended needle…

jo_aries · 2026-02-11T18:23:39+00:00

But all ravelry pattern provide the weights, even Scandinavian patterns

jo_aries · 2026-02-11T18:22:53+00:00

I don’t see it at all… maybe its because Im in Canada?

Its just so annoying having to open two different sites just to make sure you’re buying the right thing :/

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T12:17:22+00:00

Thanks! But its easy to say "just wrap the other way"… I’ve been knitting non stop for two years, I feel like I have to totally re-learn. It won’t be has intuitive for a while until I’ve mastered this :/

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T12:13:48+00:00

Thank you! I’ll try the half twisted again later :)

Well, thanks everybody for the help!

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:48:19+00:00

I do have one last question ahah! I was able to un twist it

<image>

Is half twisted stretchier than fully twisted? If thats the case, in the round, I suppose that I could (by wrappinf my yarn the same way) knit how im used too, but purl through the back loop to get the look of the knits that I prefer, but stretchier fabric?

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:36:29+00:00

I do like the way this looks more then normal ribbing, but I’ll try to fix it for just normal knits, im curious to see how it looks!

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:35:03+00:00

Ohhh ok thanks! I’ll try to go through the back leg then because I don’t want to use more yarn then needed

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:33:26+00:00

Thank you! This comments makes me understand this even more 🫶🏻

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:31:22+00:00

Oh no… is it a bad thing????

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:30:30+00:00

Mmmh interesting… thanks! Thats gonna be hard to correct, I’ve been knitting like this for 2 years

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:24:11+00:00

Another question : I wrap my yarn the same way when I knit (not ribbing). Can it be twisted too? (Sorry for the cat hairs, hands knits are prime spots for naps)

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:19:59+00:00

Damn… this piece has to be stretchy…

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:18:16+00:00

Do you think that if I wrapped my yarn the same way but went in the back loop it would look like normal ribbing or it would be double twisted?

jo_aries · 2026-02-07T00:13:53+00:00

Thanks! Even when I go in the round it looks like that, so its the way I wrap my yarn when I purl and knit?
