Fingering weight yarn is one of my favorite yarns to buy because the high yardage in each skein gives you great value for your money. I love getting a whole pair of socks from just one ball, but it doesn’t end there – fingering weight yarn can be knit up into anything from tops to sweaters, afghans and home decor items.
I have been to ALL of my favorite knitting websites and am so excited to tell you all about their most popular fingering weight yarns! Get ready to be inspired and gobsmacked by the incredible color, texture and potential of these sensational skeins.
Thank you for being here. You are beautiful. Enjoy!
