Hi screen friends,
Might anyone have a recommendation for a good quality/value acrylic yarn that works up to a knitting gauge of 24 stitches = 4 inches? Specifically that comes in black?
I have a request from the kid to crochet a specific pattern in a color set that includes using black as a framing device for the individual motifs. I've been looking at the Herschnerrs 2 ply Afghan Yarn (listed as 24 knit stitches= 4 inches) but they appear to have discontinued the color black. They have the other colors I need, so I'm hoping I can find something of similar weight/texture/appearance from another source to use along with the Herschnerrs stuff.
And yes, I am giving the gauge in knit terms but intend to crochet this piece. I find that the knit gauge is usually of better reliability for identifying yarn substitutions than are the manufacturers crochet gauges.
Any ideas on possible equivalents? Sources?
Thanks in advance for any/all help,
kbsalazar
