Sport

Sport-strength yarns are slightly thicker than fingering-strength yarns, but thinner than DK (double knitting) yarns. They offer a good balance between thickness and lightness, and are therefore also very versatile.

The needle size recommendation for medium-strength sport yarns is usually 3.25 mm - 3.75 mm. Sport yarns are thin enough to create detailed knit surfaces, but thick enough to be warm and durable.

You should also try Sport-strength yarn as an alternative to fingering-strength if your knitting arm is loose and it is difficult for you to achieve the stitch count required by the instructions with the needle according to the instructions.

If properly cared for, sweaters made from sport yarns are long-lasting, beautiful and comfortable.
