Fingering Weight Yarn

Fingering weight yarn is one of the most versatile yarn categories, beloved for its balance of fineness and durability. With a gauge typically in the range of 27–32 stitches per 4 inches, it creates light yet strong fabrics that are perfect for socks, shawls, baby garments, and lightweight sweaters. Fingering yarns can be knit tightly for structure and long-lasting wear, as in socks, or more loosely for drape and flow in shawls and scarves. Always check your pattern for exact gauge, as fingering yarns offer a wide range of project possibilities.

At Loop, we feature a curated selection of fingering yarns, from our in-house hand-dyed bases like Sprig and Linden to trusted brands including Malabrigo, Woolfolk, and Blue Sky Fibers. Many are spun from natural fibers, ensuring next-to-skin softness while offering strength and stitch definition. With hundreds of tonal and hand-dyed shades to choose from, fingering yarn is the perfect palette for knitters who love color and versatility.

Whether you’re knitting socks for everyday wear or a shawl to show off your favorite hand-dyed skein, fingering weight yarn delivers beauty, flexibility, and endless creative options.
