DK Weight Yarn

DK (double knitting) weight yarn is a favorite for garments and accessories thanks to its versatility and approachable thickness. With a typical gauge of 21–24 stitches per 4 inches, DK strikes the perfect balance between lightweight wear and cozy warmth. It creates fabrics that drape well but still hold their structure, making it ideal for sweaters, shawls, baby knits, and accessories of all kinds.

Because of its medium thickness, DK weight yarn is popular among knitters of all skill levels—it’s easy to handle, works up at a satisfying pace, and shows stitch definition beautifully. Whether you’re working textured stitches, lace, or colorwork, DK yarn delivers clarity and polish.

At Loop, we offer a wide variety of hand-dyed DK yarns in rich tonal shades as well as premium natural-fiber blends from favorite brands. These yarns bring together softness, depth of color, and durability for projects you’ll reach for again and again. DK weight yarn is the perfect all-around choice for knitters looking for versatility, beauty, and comfort.
