The Brother KH-910 is a standard bed machine with 200 needles spaced 4.5 mm apart. A good rule of thumb is never use any yarn that is bigger than the hook space...meaning you can lay the yarn across the open needle in the hook and the latch will close easily. These machines use thin yarn. Some options from your neighborhood hobby store would be baby yarn or crochet thread. Most standard bed machine knitters use cone yarn which is purchased from stores specializing in supplying machine knitters. This yarn comes in a variety of fiber contents colors and variations.
Every possible kind and type of yarn that you can imagine is used in knitting.

You can get a rough idea by comparing it with a known sample, being careful not to stretch the yarns. You can weigh the skein and measure its length, and see how that compares with the numbers for the known yarn. You can use a double knitting pattern and make up a swatch to see if the size is approximately right. Even yarns with the same designation can vary quite widely.
