Can I use 2 strands of yarn?
There is a cabled purse that I want to make, which calls for super chunky yarn (2 st per inch on size 15 needles). I've found some yarn which will work (Cascade yarn), but I don't love any of the colours. Would I be able to use say a chunky yarn, and hold 2 strands of it?
