Knitting with Yarn Held Double

Holding two (or more) yarns together to knit may appear challenging, but with some planning, it's easier than you think. Here's how to calculate your 'new' yarn's approximate weight.
Note that this is just a starting point—you may want to swatch to make sure that you're happy with the fabric.

• Two lace-weight yarns held together yields approximately a fingering weight yarn.
• Two fingering weight yarns held together yields approximately a DK-weight yarn.
• Two sport weight yarns held together yields approximately a light worsted weight yarn.
• Two DK-weight yarns held together yields approximately a worsted/heavy worsted weight yarn.
• Two worsted weight yarns held together yields approximately a bulky weight yarn.
