Sport weight yarns are not as common in the United States as fingering or DK weight, but it is a nice alternative for knit or crochet to a fingering weight, as it is a little more substantial. Sport weight yarns are often used as garment or baby yarns, as they create a beautiful gauge that is not too heavy or light.
