How to choose yarn for your project

Check the ply first, because it guides needle size and how chunky the finished piece feels. 4 ply suits baby clothes and fine work, 8 ply is the all rounder for jumpers, scarves and blankets, and 10 or 12 ply knits up faster for throws and beanies. Crochet cotton holds its shape, which makes it good for dishcloths, amigurumi and market bags. Work out how many balls you need before you start and buy them together, as shades can vary from batch to batch.
