DK weight

Light Weight - Double Knit (DK Yarn)

Light Weight yarn is more commonly called DK or Double Knit.  This yarn creates a lovely, drapey fabric that is so popular probably because it works up much faster than its thinner counterparts.  Sweaters, accessories, and children’s garments are just a few of the projects that are complemented with DK weight yarn.
