Soft, sturdy, and wonderfully sproingy, our Knitting Yarn DK is as trusty a companion as knitting itself!

  • Made in Peru, Knitting Yarn DK is 100% merino wool and is spun in four plies, which knit up into a smooth fabric with lovely stitch definition. It has a pleasant toothiness and a cushiony feel that you will love.

  • This light worsted/DK-weight yarn is best knit on US 6 to 8 needles, and it comes in generous, ready-to-knit balls (no winding and enough yardage in one ball for an adult hat or a pair of mittens!). Want a lot of Knitting Yarn DK? Knitting Yarn DK On A Cone gives you 1,000 grams!

  • Select from 30+ beautifully heathered colors that pull their inspiration from the natural world, from serene Pine Needle to bright Sour Citron.

  • We love Knitting Yarn DK for mittens, hats, and scarves, for blankets and sweaters. For knitting and crochet. For pretty much everything! For some fabulous ideas, be sure to explore our growing collection of (mostly free) knitting patterns in Knitting Yarn DK.

  • The mill that makes this yarn is OEKO-TEX–SteP Certified, guaranteeing processes that respect the natural environment and provide optimum working conditions.

  • Looking for more yarn like this? We have lots of light worsted/DK-weight yarn that knits up at the same gauge as Knitting Yarn DK (although maybe on slightly different needles!). Check out Simply Yak, Cashmere Merino Bloom, Note and our gradient Nine-Note Bundles, and for a 100% plant-based option, try Cotton Chirp DK!

  • More generally, shop our other DK-weight yarn, merino wool yarn, and other wool yarn, all available only at Purl Soho.
