Sport Weight Yarn

Sport weight yarn sits between fingering and DK: light enough for drapey baby knits, socks and summer tops, with a little more body for colorwork, cables and texture. Most sport yarns knit at 23–26 stitches per 4" on US 3–5 needles. Need something lighter or heavier? Browse fingering weight, DK weight or all yarn by weight.

What Is Sport Weight Yarn?

Sport weight is the Craft Yarn Council's #2 "fine" weight. It is a step up from fingering and a step down from DK. Typical gauge is 23–26 stitches per 4" in stockinette on US 3–5 (3.25–3.75 mm) needles, or 16–20 single crochet per 4" on an E-4 to 7 (3.5–4.5 mm) hook. Always check the ball band and swatch, because individual yarns vary.

Wool and merino sport yarn

For baby sweaters and garments that get washed often, pick a superwash merino: Cascade 220 Superwash Sport and Valley Superwash Sport are both machine-washable. Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino blends merino with cashmere for extra softness against a baby's skin. Find more in baby yarn.

Sport weight cotton

Cotton gives crisp stitch definition and stays cool in warm weather. Cascade Ultra Pima Fine and MillaMia Naturally Soft Cotton are machine-washable cottons for tops, baby gifts and blankets. Valley Yarns Granville blends Pima cotton with merino for summer tees and shawls. Shop every fiber weight in cotton yarn.

Acrylic and blends

Cascade Pacific Sport blends acrylic and wool, and the whole skein is machine-washable. It's a good choice for blankets and kids' wear. More options are in acrylic yarn.

Sport weight sock yarn

Sport weight socks knit up faster than fingering and come out a little thicker, which suits boot socks and house socks. For a non-wool option, Cascade Cotton Sox is mostly cotton with a touch of nylon for stretch. Browse every weight in sock yarn.
