Fingering Weight Yarn

Fingering weight yarn is very popular among both knitters and crocheters as an all-round versatile weight with many uses. Available in a huge range of fiber blends, Fingering weight yarns are used to create just about anything you can imagine! Thanks to the ever-growing demand for Fingering yarns there are many exciting modern ranges of self-patterning, hand-dyed effect and speckled colorways, as well as classic solid, semi-solid or tonal shades.

For many of you socksshawls will be the first items to spring to mind when thinking of Fingering weight yarns (check out our patterns by clicking the links)! Also a firm favourite for creating Fair Isle and Intarsia, Fingering weight is a finer and often softer alternative to Sport & DK yarns that works up into small, neat stiches providing the level of intricacy needed to achieve impressive color patterns. Fingering yarns are a great hit with those wishing to emulate a Vintage style as many original patterns from the 1940’s & 50’s use this weight of yarn.

Standard Fingering weight knitting wools and yarns are usually knitted on a US 3 needle but always check the pattern or yarn instructions as this will vary dependent on stitch pattern used, style of garment and also the density of fabric required.
