[amayausers] Re: Densities????

Hi,

I also experience problems with densities when I'm using white yarn.  A 
coloured yarn covers wel, even on a dark or light background but when I use 
the white yarn, I still see the fabric.  Could it be that the white yarn is 
finer than coloured yarn ?  And can I adjust such a design only by adjusting 
the density ? Or should I change the density of the backgroundlayer ?
