It’s always worked for me. It’s a general guide, of course, but I’m usually happy with the fabric I get using it.

what about a cowl thingy? it’s pretty much the same shape as the cowl i made up with some of my first handspun, and it works beautifully. soft and warm!

The rule I was taught with handspun is that just like with regular yarn, you double it, and put it through the holes in a needle gague to find the right size needle. With millspun, you take the needle size that your yarn fits through easily. With handspun, you go up two needle sizes.
