Yarn Weight - Light Fingering

Light Fingering weight yarn is a fine yarn, thicker than Lace but slightly thinner than standard Fingering. It is ideal for making lightweight, breathable garments with good stitch definition and a soft drape. Its yardage is higher compared to other weights, allowing the creation of larger pieces that are very light and comfortable to wear.

This weight is a slightly lighter variation of Fingering. It is the second finest yarn and the balls also usually contain a large amount of yardage. In fact, some cakes have more than 1000 metres, but the standard is that a 100 g ball will usually have between 450 and 575 metres.

This weight is very versatile and suitable for:

• 🧣 Shawls, scarves and stoles with drape.
• 👚 Tops, T-shirts and lightweight garments for spring and autumn.
• 🧥 Fine jackets, boleros and mid-season garments.
• 🧸 Amigurumi with good detail and definition (such as with Ricorumi Lamé).
• 🏠 Textile décor projects such as lightweight cushions or delicate doilies.

No, it is a very manageable weight. It provides a smooth and comfortable crafting experience, both in knitting and crochet. It allows you to create fine garments that are not as delicate as with Lace, making it ideal for makers of all levels. In addition, it is very rewarding in terms of stitch definition and professional finish.

The most common fibres in Light Fingering yarn are:

• 🐑 Organic wool (such as BC Garn Bio Shetland GOTS).
• 🌿 Cotton and organic wool blends (such as BC Garn Bio Balance GOTS).
• ✨ Acrylic blends with a metallic effect (such as Rico Design Ricorumi Lamé).

Each fibre brings different qualities: breathability, softness, decorative effect or lightweight warmth.

¡Sí! Este peso es perfecto para combinar:

• 🪢 Puedes trabajar con dos hilos para conseguir un grosor más parecido al Sport.
• 🎨 Mézclalo con hilos de algodón, mohair o merino para añadir textura, calidez o un efecto esponjoso.
• 🧶 Se adapta muy bien tanto si se utiliza solo como combinado, manteniendo siempre una excelente definición de los puntos.

Light Fingering weight offers the perfect balance between lightness and stitch definition. It is lighter and airier than standard Fingering, but has more body than Lace. This makes it an ideal option for breathable and comfortable garments, without sacrificing structure or stitch quality. In addition, its high yardage makes it very efficient, allowing you to knit more with less yarn.
