Needle sizing tip...

I had a lot of difficulty figuring out the right needle size for a ball of yarn that had lost its band label. So I started looking for ways to make it easier before actually beginning a project and having to break it up or have trouble with the needle an yarn altogether ( if the needle was too small it would puncture the yarn and if it was too large the stitches would come out really nasty). And I think I've found at least one way to do this...

• Take the yarn and double it,
• Thread it through the needle gauge
• Find the one hole in which the yarn  fits right
• Not to tight but not to loose
