This is the ball I knit this week. It is ready to duplicate stitch a design in red onto the ball. You can also actually knit in the design, which I would probably do the next time... The ball is way bigger than I imagined. I used worsted weight yarn and US 4 double pointed needles. I have to say that I will not be making these balls.
As you can tell, this is a VERY large ball. That is one reason I won't be knitting a ton of them. The other reason I won't be knitting these balls, or at least, not with this yarn, is I don't like the way the yarn feels on my fingers. I will need the actual wool that Arne and Carlos recommend. I have not found the yarn they suggest. However, I should be able to find a similar yarn. I believe it is a fingering weight. Well, it seems to be a 4-ply European wool.
Maybe someone knows a shop that sells this kind of yarn. If so, I would like the information. I expect it will be pricey so I want to see it in person before laying down the cash!
