Does anyone know what type of yarn is equal to Bernat baby Jacquard? Would it be 3ply or baby yarn? Thanks Shell

I don't know where you are. But I'll try. Here's the on-site info from Bernat:


Bernat Baby Jacquards
Variegated (166106)
Knitting Tension
23 sts - 30 rows = 4" (10 cm)
Crochet Tension
16 sts - 19 rows = 4" (10 cm)
Suggested Knitting Needle
4.00 mm, US - 6
Suggested Crochet Hook
4.00 mm, US - G/6

That would make it not as heavy as worsted, 10 ply, or Aran weight. More like an 8-ply.

It is a DK yarn 23 st and 30 rows = 4 inches on a 4 mm

I have used Wendy Dk and Sidar Snuggly Dk which is 22 sts and 28 rows = 4 inches on a 4 mm in place of it. I knit a little loosely so my end dimensions were almost the same.

It's what we in America call sport weight yarn, category 3.

Sport weight in the USA is a #2. #3 in the USA and UK is called DK. Check out this site:

Just made two hats from this yarn for baby (child) and it is very pretty. Will use it again.
