Worsted Weight Yarn - The Versatile Classic for All Your Knitting Adventures
With approximately 9-11 WPI (wraps per inch), this medium-weight yarn creates fabric with excellent stitch definition and a comfortable hand. Typically worked on US size 7-9 needles (4.5-5.5mm), worsted weight projects knit up quickly while providing wonderful texture and durability.
Our carefully curated collection features fibers for every preference and project need. Choose from 100% wool for warmth and natural resilience, superwash merino for easy-care luxury, cotton blends for breathable accessories, or acrylic options for budget-friendly, washable items. Each fiber blend has been selected by our Paradise Fibers team for its exceptional quality and performance.
Worsted weight yarn is perfect for cozy sweaters, warm hats, practical mittens, sturdy home décor, and cuddly baby items. A typical skein offers approximately 200-220 yards, making project planning straightforward. Whether you're a beginner starting your first scarf or an experienced knitter creating a complex cabled sweater, worsted weight delivers consistent, beautiful results.
