Hi does it matter what needles I use with which wool?
Also is there a good website with explains and has easy to follow knitting patterns?
Thanks in advance

It usually tells you on the band round the wool what size of needle to use. As a general rule the thicker the wool the larger the needle.

Ravelry is a good site -patterns and advice. You have to register but it's free.

If you're following a pattern it will usually tell you what size needles and what weight of wool to use. Otherwise as Thirzah said, use the size recommended on the label.

I heartily endorse the recommendation to join https://www.ravelry.com. It's crammed full of everything a knitter could ever want, including almost 200 000 patterns, and user groups for everyone from rank beginners to designers to people who like to spin their dog's hair.

And it caters to crocheters like me too!

There is a knitters thread. We could do with some new members not many people post but ask a question and they all come out.

Sorry I don't know how to do the links to threads but it is just called "the knitters thread."

If you want to read back there are lots of tips on just about everything.
