You can make a shawl with one ball or a cardigan with 2 or 3 balls. What will you choose?
WHAT IS ARAN WEIGHT?
It is the next weight or thickness up from double knit and is ideal for men's sweaters, scarves, hats and blankets. There is of course the style of knitting called aran typified by cable patterns in the 1970s and should not be muddled with Aran weight yarn. Typically it uses a 5mm knitting needle and is known in the US as worsted yarn.
