This is a bulky ribbon yarn - cannot possibly be DK and is certainly not lightweight or in any way suitable for wearables. Only use would be for bags, rugs, mandala wall art or possibly, a table runner. I worked up 2 rows of dc as an example to see just how it looked/felt. Anyway, confirms that it would be ok for a bag. So, if that is what you are looking for - then this is for you. Also - Silver is not silver, but more of a neutral ecru. And given that I bought it in pink, rosy and silver to make lightweight wearables for my grandchildren, it is truly a disappointment. Pictures below are the not really "silver" color and example of how 2 rows of dc worked up with a 5.5 mm hook [recommeded size per label. Truly, my first not wonderful experience with shopping at Premier.
