There's several different weights of yarn, going from smallest to heaviest there's 2-ply, 4-ply, DK, aran, chunky. The bigger the weight, the thicker and heavier the yarn which just means you knit it on bigger needles to a different gauge which it will usually tell you on the ball band. Also, beware if you're looking at american knitting sites as they have different terms for their yarn weight.

To knit with more than one colour and to create fabrics with a plethora of different knit techniques more easily, you want to get onto a domestic knitting machine or a v-bed. Fairly easy to navigate if you get a manual and very easy to get fast garment panels. Does anyone study textile knit here?
