DK Weight Yarn
DK weight yarns offer you the warmth of worsted weight yarns without the bulk, while giving you the drape and ease of a fingering weight or sport weight yarn. Warm, wooly fingerless gloves, year round sweaters and shawls perfect for chasing away winter's chill are all great options for DK weight yarn. DK weight yarns are recommended for projects with a knitting gauge of 5.25–6 stitches per inch and a crochet gauge of 3–4.25 single crochets per inch. Be sure to check our closeout yarns for great deals on this versatile weight.
