As other countries have different yarns/hooks/needles we have written out 3 tables below of their equivalents - this is only a rough guide so please remember to check your tension!!!!!!!. We use metric hooks/needles and UK yarns, however if you are outwith the uk feel free to request a yarn sample with your mail order.
Please feel free to email us with any questions at maddi@shifio.co.uk
