Needles & Notions

Size B: 3.25mm (US 3) circular needles (colourwork yoke)
Note: many knitters nd that they need to use smaller needles for single colour stockinette to achieve the same gauge as the colourwork; you may or may not need smaller size needles than what you use for the colourwork. Be sure to swatch and always use a needle size that will result in the correct gauge after blocking.
