About our Premium DK Weight Merino Silk Blend Yarn
DK yarns are lighter than worsted weight yarn, but heavier than Sport weight. When you think of DK weight yarn, your mind probably goes to “baby knits”, and you’d be absolutely correct! DK weight is truly a great yarn weight for the newest member of the family, and this merino and silk blend is super soft and perfect for next to skin projects so it won’t cause irritability. In addition to baby knits / infant wear, DK is perfect for lightweight garments as this yarn is highly versatile and durable.
DK Merino Silk Blend Yarn is best used with US 5-7 size needles, depending on your project. All DK Weight yarns are worsted spun to a high standard using the best quality fibers possible and arrive tangle free and ready to knit.
