Favourite Yarns?

I think I used English size 14 - that is about 2mm, for the last ones, for a three fold yarn (I twisted together three threads) - I have used finer - size 16 and a two thread yarn, but they did take a long time to knit.

I think 16s would be about 1.5mm, and the yarn half the thickness of double knitting, maybe less, as cotton yarn is rather dense.

That doesn't seem too outrageous. When I first started knitting I was pretty scared of those little needles, but I've been working my way down in that direction. I'll have to add a pair of cotton hose to my queue, which has become quite long at this point.
