3:Light

Light yarn, also known as DK (double knitting) or light worsted weight, falls into the '3' category in the yarn weight system. This versatile yarn strikes a beautiful balance between the fineness of sport weight and the heft of worsted weight, making it an excellent choice for a wide variety of projects.

DK yarn is perfect for crafting garments and accessories that require a bit of warmth without being too heavy. It's commonly used for sweaters, scarves, hats, blankets, and even toys. The thickness of this yarn allows for great stitch definition, making it ideal for showcasing textured stitches or colorwork.

When working with light yarn, it's generally recommended to use knitting needles in the range of US 5-7 or crochet hooks sized 7 to I-9. But, as always, be sure to check your pattern or the yarn label for specific gauge recommendations.

Whether you're knitting a cozy winter hat, crocheting a soft baby blanket, or weaving a lightweight summer shawl, light yarn provides a perfect blend of comfort, warmth, and versatility.
