It so happened that , i went back to wearing some old sweaters, i made
25-20 years ago , of various wool thickness , they all keep warmth and
i enjoy them , than i found my shop owner , cleaned her ante room, and
found some of Same kind of wools, and sold them for virtaully nothing
, Before starting my planned sweater i swatched it ,,,, last time i
knitted this type was 10 years ago , i found that my Gugaue has
changed and i do like my new gauge much better than the old one ,,,,
Climate has changed , my Body`s reaction to heat /cold has changed.
Thus if somebody thinks to make polls about this matter , Climate ,
age of wearer , are also to be takien into acount , People aren`t the
same in thes matters.

I just discussed this matter with my sister in law,
I told her my reaction to temperature had changed a lot,
she could not understand that.
But she is 6 years younger than me! LOL!

My reaction to both hot and cold temperatures has become more noticeable
since I had that pneumonia after Hurricane Katrina. I am very much more
sensitive to both heat and cold.
In addition, however, I find I must swatch each and every yarn I use.
Sometimes the identical yarn, in a different color, will swatch
differently. For instance, I have had the experience of a light color
yarn being much more fluffy than the same item in a navy or black.
Also, different colors often have a diferent feel. One baby yarn I
wanted to buy was very soft in one shade, and quite harsh in another.
Worst of all was the variegated one, which I thought was much too harsh
to put on a baby.
So, the only answer to "What gauge is best?" is...................
.....................................................
It depends!

I seee what you mean, Navy yarn are often "thinner" than other coloures!
Many of our traditional patterns have been knitted in navy and white
the last years, and I, and others, have noticed that!
