DK is a UK (and maybe Australia - but not sure on that) weight of yarn ... it is equivalent to 2 strand of 3 ply baby yarn



many many moons ago 3ply was the normal weight of yarn and referred to and knitting yarn - so when 2 strands were used the term DK (double knitting) was used



usually knitted on UK size 10 for welt and 8 for main part



look on www.yarnforward.com there are loads of comparison charts on there - very useful

I believe it is a lighter weight yarn. If your not sure. Just look on any search engine, Google is very good. And just put DK yarn in there, and it should come up with what it is. You can also put in DK yarn definition. Hope this helps you.

If you go to this site:

http://www.knittersreview.com/article_tool.asp?article=/review/profile/050818_d.asp there is a lovely chart near the bottom that explains the range for weights of yarn. It is, as others have said, a little lighter than worsted weight - a little heavier than sport weight. Since the chart only includes US knitting needle sizes, here is a site that gives a bunch of conversion charts so you can figure out what size hook to use: http://www.sweaterbabe.com/NeedleConversion.htm
