Disappointed with yarn fineness
I'm disappointed with this yarn as it seems finer than a usual DK. Knitting 22 stitches and 30 rows measures only 3 1/4" square with 4mm needles. I knit every single day and have done for most of my life. My knitting is not tight and I never have an issue with tension on other projects. I think you should be looking at the yarn! I have Paintbox Simply DK yarns in my stock and the yarns are very different although the test square info is the same.
