Sport weight yarn is a fine weight of yarn used for knitting and crochet projects. Sport yarn is also sometimes called double knitting (DK). It's the third thinnest yarn after lace and baby weight yarns and just under worsted in thickness. Sport weight yarn is knitted with medium sized knitting needles and crocheted with a medium sized crochet hook. There are many different kinds of sport weight yarns including acrylic, cotton and alpaca.
