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!

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!

Easy to work with and versatile

I bought This yarn in black as a perfect pairing with a DGY Fancy Twist White Rainbow Bulky to make a bubbly button neck warmer (my own pattern) it felt great to work with - soft without being slippery, and as I was playing with different textures and weights, it held up to the bulky yarn perfectly.

Bright and cheerful and fun to knit with!

I adore this yarn! It's such a pleasure to knit with and the tweedy rainbow it works up into makes me so happy. It's soft, lightweight, and doesn't split while knitting or crocheting. I've knit a shawl and crocheted a market bag so far and have a few more on my list for gifts. The colors are bright and vibrant, even after a few handwashes.

Buy me!

I was hesitant to buy yarn online that I did not already know. I did a bit of homework on Ravelry and saw good comments. I bought 7 hanks of birch color (White/Black). I am using to crochet a summer weight sweater and the drape is beautiful. Feels great to work with and the random pattern is fantastic. HIghly recommend!

Love this yarn

Im subscribed to the DGY Yarn of the Month Club. This yarn was in Box 6. I love it! Im surprised because I havent liked any of the previous yarns. Silk yarn has no stretch so the heavier weights are tough for my arthritic hands to work besides the awful gaudiness of the colors. The Sport Weight isnt a problem for me. Its also a beautiful yarn. The color changes are just gorgeous flecks of color in your work.

Stunning!

I was lucky enough to receive this stunning yarn in one of my monthly subscription boxes. I loved it so much that I bought a second hank. Each hank in the Carribean Current colorway has unique speckles and has a beautiful sheen. I will purchase this yarn again!

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! :)

I am loving the feel of it and the colors are drop dead gorgeous. I am working on Andrea Mowry's "The Shift" and I think it is going to be a knockout.

SO SOFT I WANT TO SCREAM INTO THE NIGHT

words cannot do justice in describing how velvety soft this yarn is. spun from the tears of Paul Rudd in their rarity and purity. I haven't even started making anything with it yet as I keep rubbing my face all over the caked yarn like it's catnip and I a cat.
