Here are the other blankets I said I'd post...a while ago now. The darker brown one is to go with the coffee coloured one I posted earlier. The lemon one is for DD friend who has had a baby girl and the flowers and leaves are from a pattern on Attic24.
I just love looking at everyone's fabulous work on here, hope you like mine...here goes to try and upload them now lol

Can I have some quick help pls?

I've taken a gamble and ordered a bulk supply of cotton yarn from Yeoman Yarns and they say you can choose what weight you want. Am I right in thinking I want DK or aran weight? 4ply is much thinner right?

Hi npsmama

Yes. As a rough guide, if you take DK as your normal average one, aran is about twice as thick and 4-ply is about half as thick. I've often used 2 strands of 4-ply as DK, or 2 strands of DK as aran and it seems to be ok. If you are buying it for a particular pattern though I'd be careful to go by what the pattern says.

Edit: I just had a look at the Yeoman Yarns link and I don't think they make it very clear just what you are buying in the bulk pack but I'd love to know - is there a page I'm not seeing that tells you?
