Sport Weight Yarn
Sport weight yarn is one of the lesser known weights available on the UK market. However, it has long been popular in the United States, where it is often used for knitting patterns and baby clothes. We are happy to offer free UK delivery on all orders over £75.

Sport weight yarn is a yarn thickness between fingering and dk weight. It’s a great versatile weight, capable of providing warmth without being too hot. Sport weight yarn also knits up quicker than fingering weight, which makes it a great choice for impatient knitters. You’ll also still be able to enjoy the fine detailing than can get lost when knitting with thicker yarns. Some people refer to sport yarn as 5-ply yarn because it is thicker than 4-ply but thinner than DK wool. Those using sport weight yarn typically use 3.5mm to 4mm knitting needles or crochet hooks.
Merino sport weight yarn
Merino wool is very popular in garment knitting because it is extra soft. Many people who find wool itchy won’t be bothered by merino wool. Also because it is such a popular fibre, you can find sport weight merino wool in a wide range of colours and styles. Sport weight merino yarn is a favourite for sweaters that knit up quickly, squishy hats, or anything that will be worn right against the skin.
