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

Love the Drape!

Really loving the drape of this yarn. I was able to play with it to design the knit Japanese Knot Bag for the June Yarn of the Month Club and fell in love... Then made a Zig Zag Hat and Chevron Alder Fingerless Mitts by pairing 1 skein of it in Holland Tulips with 1 skein of a 2023 Yarn of the month, Pomegranate Sport Twist and adore the results!

Hi there!

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. We are thrilled to hear that you love the drape of our Sport Weight Recycled Silk Yarn! It sounds like you have been having fun designing and creating with it, and we are so happy to hear that you are pleased with the results. We hope that you continue to enjoy working with our yarn and we appreciate your support.

Happy knitting!

This yarn is fantastic!

I have the Tulips and the Cherry Blossom yarns, and they're amazing for summery tops! Very good drape and stitch definition!

Cherry blossom is gorgeous

I love how the cherry blossom yarn works up!

Gorgeous yarn
