Lace weight yarns are perfect for lightweight, warm weather garments and accessories. Used predominantly in delicate openwork lace textures, lace weight yarns make excellent shawls and wraps with a knitting gauge of 8+ stitches per inch.

Progressing up the yarn weight scale, Fine is the next size up from Super Fine. Fine or Sport weight yarn has a large range of uses. It is popular for baby garments (due to the fine gauge), color work, light sweaters, & heavier socks.

According to Craft Yarn Council's Standard Yarn Weight System, DK weight yarn falls into the category 3-Light yarn weight, along with light worsted yarns. It is thinner than category 4-Medium yarns (a.k.a. worsted weight yarn) and heavier than 2-Fine yarns (a.k.a. sport weight yarn).

Worsted weight yarn is a medium weight yarn that sits in the middle of the yarn weight family. Its medium thickness means that it's great for knitting sweaters, hats, scarves, mittens, blankets and beyond! Because worsted yarn is so “knittable,” I think of it as an all-purpose yarn.

These yarns work great for bulky or chunky projects that have a gauge from 3 to 3.75 stitches per inch. Choose a bulky weight yarn for cozy blankets, warm sweaters, or quick-to-finish accessories.
