DK

VELVET: a durable, fine nylon core meets silky viscose fluff. When knitted up, it creates a velvety, fur-like surface in which the individual stitches become invisible. Perfect for lavish faux-fur details on cuffs, collars or hoods, adding a touch of luxury to any project. Whether you knit it on its own or as a delicate strand combined with another yarn, VELVET brings depth, softness and a hint of extravagance to every design.

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
