Your true go-to yarn, Knitting Yarn Fine strikes the perfect balance between softness and sturdiness, versatility and beauty!

About This Yarn

• Knitting Yarn Fine is a next-door neighbor to our classic Knitting Yarn DK, opening the door for you to knit with this perfect-for-everything 100% merino wool at those lovely finer gauges. This wool yarn is soft enough to wear next to the skin yet has a pleasant toothiness and lasting resilience you'll find absolutely irresistible.
• Milled in Peru, this Fine version has the same bouncy, cushiony, 4-ply spin as the well-loved original... Just scaled down! It's simply marvelous in stockinette stitch and also has the clear stitch definition to show off textured stitch patterns, squishy cables, and intricate colorwork. Ready-to-knit balls mean there's nothing standing in your way when inspiration strikes!
• Spanning fingering and sport weight with grace, Knitting Yarn Fine is wonderful at a dense gauge for snug, structured accessories like mittens and hats, or knit it more loosely to provide elegant drape for sweaters, shawls, and more. Check out our growing collection of knitting patterns in Knitting Yarn Fine to get your creative cogs turning... You'll never run out of projects you want to knit (or crochet!) with this beautiful yarn!
• Pick from 16 richly heathered colors that draw their inspiration from the natural world, from soft Spring Sky to mysterious Peat Bog. Some colors have a more subtle heather while others are more pronounced, and you'll want to explore them all!
