Yarn vs machine gauge
Putting this up here because it comes up online a lot. The numbers across the top are the tension dial settings. It's a rough guide, as yarn density varies enormously! And you might break your wrist trying to get super bulky through a knitting machine. Try it at your own risk! Just saying...
More snowflakes have been crocheted. Think I'm up to 6 or 7 now.

Thanks. I'm trying to understand this. The top line is the tension numbers? For example: On a mid-gauge machine it is recommended to knit (3)Light-weight yarn at a tension of 6?
Yes, numbers across the top are tension dial settings.
Thank you. That clarifies. I have not seen this chart before. It's very handy. Appreciate it.
