Working with the baby yarn spoiled me. It made the weaving easy.
When I tried to use regular worsted weight yarn (4 weight), it was just a l-i-t-t-l-e bit too thick to easily fit through the mesh. So I was fighting with the pucker again. Weaving with worsted weight yarn is do-able, but not as easy.
I know there are some "worsted weight" yarns that are a bit thinner than average. Variegated yarn often is just a tad thinner. Also I am going to experiment with a 3 weight to see how that works.
I don't want to give up the bolder colors just to make the weaving easier. Baby yarn weaves well, but often comes in pale colors.
I'll just have to see what works best.
