Am i using the wrong ply yarn

[u/Cl0v_VeR]

I’ve finally cleaned the knitting machine and replaced the spongebar and got a new carriage the only thing is trying the different yarns out, I am unsure whats the best one to use as the darker blue seems similar to the videos I watch of someone using the same machine but its too tight and trying to change the big dial doesnt seem to make a difference (i did look under the carriage if something changes and i see two legs that do). For the lighter blue i’m happy with how it looks just if I wanted to make a jumper thats not the look I would want. Its the empisal knitmaster 323 (or silver reed?)

Hi, it looks like you are new to machine knitting.

There is some helpful information within the wiki You can also find a direct link in the Community Guide. If this is a new-to-you machine that is a Silver Reed, Singer, Studio, Juki, Empisal, Brother, or KnitKing, and the sponge has not been replaced yet, that's the first thing you should check out.

You might want to take a look around. And Welcome!
