How to choose DK yarn

Choose DK (double knitting) yarn for versatile everyday projects: it is a medium-light weight that knits or crochets to a neat fabric, commonly on around 4mm needles. Check the ball band for the recommended tension and needle size.

  • Wool DK holds shape well; cotton DK suits summer garments; acrylic DK is easy-care.
  • Patterns can vary, so swatch before starting a fitted garment.
  • DK is widely used for baby clothes, toys and accessories.
  • Buy enough from the same dye lot for the whole project.
