Fine yarn is also known as baby yarn or sport weight yarn. It's lightweight and easy to move around in.

The official yarn weights number is 2.

Suggested Uses

My crochet vests are made from this yarn. It's perfect for layering if you do not want to wear something too hot and bulky. That's also why it's commonly used in knit and crochet patterns for baby clothes.

I'm not sure where the term sport yarn came from. Perhaps people wanted lighter hats, gloves, and sweaters to wear while playing sports?

Recommended knitting needle size: 3 to 5 (3.25 to 3.75 mm)

Recommended crochet hook size: E-4 to 7 (3.5 to 4.5 mm)
