How is Light Fingering weight yarn used?

Working with Light Fingering yarn is very rewarding and offers many possibilities. Here are some key tips and recommendations:

✅ For a lightweight fabric with drape: Use 3 mm to 3.5 mm needles, ideal for loose garments with good drape and very comfortable to wear.
✅ For greater stitch definition: If you want a tighter, more defined stitch (perfect for children’s garments or amigurumi), choose 2.5 mm to 3 mm needles.
✅ Held double or combined: You can work Light Fingering held double to achieve more body, or blend it with yarns of other weights to create unique, warmer or more textured effects.
✅ Blocking recommended: Especially for openwork garments or shawls, blocking helps to open up the stitches, shape the fabric and improve the drape.
