DROPS Yarn Group B: DK / DK, light worsted

Yarn group B is DROPS's label for DK weight yarn, called DK, light worsted in US patterns. Group B yarns knit to about 20–22 stitches per 10 cm in stocking stitch, so any yarn below can usually replace another in a pattern written for group B. Always knit a tension swatch first.
