Sport Weight is One of the Best Weights!

I love how versatile DGY Sport Weight Twist is. It makes a gorgeous and drapey plain weave on my rigid heddle loom, nice campact winter accessories to throw in your pocket and onto your head... And great yardage.

Two skeins will yield 1 woven scarf or a hat and fingerles mitts set in no time!

Green sets are made in Tropical Jungle & Mulberry Dreamscape while the peachy-pink set was made using Pomegranate Fizz paired with the 2ply sport weight Holland Tulips. Perfect gifts!

Hi there!

Thank you so much for your lovely review of our Darn Good Twist Sport Weight Silk Yarn! We're thrilled to hear that you find it versatile and perfect for various projects. We love how you've used it for both woven scarves and hats with mittens - what a great idea! And we couldn't agree more, it makes for perfect gifts. We hope you continue to enjoy working with our yarn and we appreciate your support.

Happy crafting

Gorgeous yarn

This yarn works up beautifully!

Beautiful Yarn

I haven’t used the yarn yet but I am looking forward to crocheting a scarf & fingerless mitts with it. Beautiful colors.

Super soft!

I haven’t worked up the yarn into anything yet, but it’s wonderfully soft and the colors are lovely! Order was shipped in a timely manner and I can tell the yarn will be perfect for the summer top I’m planning to make! :)
