Light Weight yarn is more commonly called DK or Double Knit. This yarn creates a lovely, drapey fabric that is so popular probably because it works up much faster than its thinner counterparts. Sweaters, accessories, and children’s garments are just a few of the projects that are complemented with DK weight yarn.
