# What is DK Weight Yarn?

A yarn that's neither too heavy nor too light is DK weight yarn, also known as Double Knitting weight yarn. This yarn type comfortably sits in the middle of the yarn weight spectrum. On the standard yarn weight scale, DK weight typically falls into category 3 or light. It measures approximately 11-15 wraps per inch (WPI) and is traditionally composed of 8 plies, or strands of yarn twisted together, providing an ideal balance of thickness and flexibility. This lighter weight makes it perfect for a range of projects, including summer sweaters, hats, accessories, and children's garments.
