OK, I want to do this Project in cotton, what's the equivalent?
What's a 'Tex Count'?
These and similar questions get to vex the knitter in their quest for working with coned yarns or interested in substituting yarns for their work.

Note: The text and graphics of this pack will be in 'More Heirloom Knitting' (now in preparation) but we've decided to issue this part separately as we are sure it will appeal to all knitters and not just to dedicated lace knitters - an ideal gift, presented in a protective poly-wallet.
