Right Needle Size for 12 Ply
by Didn't Say...
What size needles should I use for 12ply, and what size should I use if I don't want the knitting to be too tight?
YOUR ANSWER
Normally you would use a pair of 5.00mm or a 5.50mm to knit a 12 ply yarn. If you find your knitting tension is naturally tight, (as mine is) I would try the 5.50mm size first.
If your knitting is still too tight, move up to a pair of 6.00mm needles.
You didn't say in your submission where you are located, so if you need some help converting the metric sizes to either UK or USA sizes you will find a conversion chart on this page.
