Stitches/in vs. needle size

if the needle sizes for a sweater are 6 & 8, but there are 7 stitches and 6 rows per inch do you think I use fingering or dk yarn?

thanks!

This table should help you be able to figure out what type of yarn to use.

Does the pattern have a suggested yarn? If so, you can look it up on Yarndex to find out what size yarn that is.

Be sure to check your gauge before you start!

Good luck!

Quick answer - sounds like DK to me.
