Double Knit Yarn

Double knit yarn is a medium-fine yarn, also called light or light worsted. Two strands of DK yarn can be substituted for worsted weight yarn, which can be fun if you have a couple of DK colourways that make each other sing.

DK yarn is great for lightweight pieces that still need some warmth, like baby blankets, spring sweaters, and shawls. It’s a wonderful, versatile yarn that’s used in a huge variety of patterns.
