Why Choose DK Yarn for Your Next Project?

Its medium thickness provides excellent stitch definition for cables and textured patterns while still working up faster than fingering weight. Ready to start?

DK Weight Yarn Buying Guide
Choosing the perfect DK weight yarn for your next project involves more than just picking a color you love. Understanding a few key factors can ensure your finished piece is exactly what you envisioned. Consider these important points as you browse our selection.
Fiber Content and Texture
The fiber content of your yarn dictates the final feel, drape, and warmth of your project. For cozy sweaters and blankets, merino wool and other natural wools are a great choice for their warmth and elasticity. If you need a project with a soft drape, consider alpaca or a silk blend. For lighter, breathable garments and items, cotton and plant-based fibers are ideal.
Care Instructions and Durability
Yarn care is a critical factor, especially for items that will be washed frequently. Superwash wool has been treated to prevent felting and can typically be machine-washed on a gentle cycle, making it perfect for baby items and socks. For non-superwash wools and delicate fibers like alpaca, hand washing is necessary to maintain the yarn's integrity and softness.
Calculating Yardage
Before purchasing, always check your pattern to determine the total yardage needed. It's essential to compare your pattern's requirements against the skein's length to ensure you buy enough.
