Fingering weight yarn

6 replies

Hi,

What's a good place to buy some fingering weight yarn? I got a beautiful pattern for a jumper late last night and realised I don't usually buy fingering weight yarn before. I normally go to Hobbycraft but it doesn't seem to have that category at all, which is what has me confused. Is it the same as DK yarn? Any leads on this would be great, thanks!

Fingering-weight yarn is the same as 4-ply yarn.

What do you want to make?

According to Lovecrafts it;s another name for 4-ply, so loads of online places should have a selection (I use Wool Warehouse and the Knitting Network)

Great! I figured it was a UK//US thing but wasn't too sure.
I found the mosaic jumper pattern by Nomad Stitches and it almost looks too good to be true! That's what I'm planning to make https://nomadstitches.com/shop/p/mosaic-set

Gosh - that looks amazing!
Go on Ravelry and search for the pattern to see what yarn other people have used.

Oh I'm looking at making this! I'm going to use a combination of king Cole merino 4ply and Scheepjes Metropolis from here
