I have a rug pattern I want to make and it uses this yarn. I guess the HC stands for Handicraft Cotton. Is it similar to standard handicraft cotton. It sounds from the pattern as if it is DK thickness like handicraft cotton.
I can answer my own question here now. I have bought some standard Handicraft Cotton from this site and begun the rug. It seems to be working out fine.
Hi,
I don't know if this will help but if you go to the Lionbrand free pattern site they have lots of amigurumi patterns with some info on tension and sizes.
