Fingering Weight Yarn
Fingering weight yarns knit at a gauge of 27 to 32 stitches (21 to 32 single crochet) per 4 inches
Fingering yarns are sometimes called sock yarns, although true sock yarns have other characteristics that make them excellent for socks, including a nice tight twist and the addition of nylon or other fibers to add strength and durability. Â
Knitters often work fingering weight yarns on a larger needle for shawls and sweaters.Â
