Yarns and stitch tension Yarn table 9.4 Yarn table Yarn table The specified values serve as a guideline. The quality and the specific weight of a yarn must also be taken into account. Instead of a simple yarn, we recommend twisted yarn. With coarser machines it is advisable to use several twisted threads.
