What is fingerling yarn? And also is it okay to use casmere blend yarns to knit baby stuff?
Thank you,
Debbie

Maybe this will help:
Standard Yarn Weight System (http://www.yarnstandards.com/weight.html)

The only thing I would say about what yarn to use for baby clothing is that it be washable. Baby clothing requires LOTS of washing for various reasons :teehee: and if has to be handwashed it probably won't get worn much if at all. It also needs to be soft and probably not to fuzzy like angora.
