Is your gauge different on wood than on metal?

#1

Do you find you need tighter or looser on wood than on metal? I know that wood is supposed to have more grip than metal but I’ve never used it (I only have the nickel Options set and I don’t have any experience on anything else). I want to try some Harmony needles and I need to know if I should buy smaller or larger needle sizes than I would for metal.

Thank you! :mrgreen:

I’ve never stopped to measure the gauge, but I’ve slipped from one to another without an obvious problem using the same sized needles.

I knit a tiny bit tighter on metal, I guess I’m a bit more nervous about stitches slipping off. But the difference between my guage on wood and metal is very small.
