Have you just bought some gorgeous yarn and now are wondering what to make with it!?
Here's some ideas based on the yarn weight. . .

If the ball band suggests sizes 3-7 US [3.25-4.5 mm] needles, the yarn is a sport to dk-weight yarn:
If the ball band suggests 7-9 US [4.5-5.5 mm] needles, the yarn is a worsted to aran-weight yarn:
And if the suggested needle size on the ball band is 9-15 US [5.5-10 mm] needles, then the yarn is a bulky or super bulky yarn:
