Hmmm. I will have to look more closely. Yarn is not just yarn. My mother used to knit-in a heavy thread along with the yarn in Kitchner's corner to make them last longer. She was too old to knit by the time I got my kilt so I am learning what I can and I expect to be making my own kilt hose before long. Lots to learn. Now where did I leave that drop spindle??
