- Sport weight yarn is a good yarn for knitting thin or small items like baby sweaters, kids clothes, lightweight cardigans and hiking socks.
- To determine if yarn is sport weight or not, wrap the yarn around a ruler; make sure each strand is just touching the one next to it. Continue wrapping until you have 1 inch. Then, count the number of wraps it took to make 1 inch. Sport weight yarn is around 12 to 14 wraps per inch.
