8 Ply & DK Yarn NZ

Shop quality 8 ply and DK yarn in New Zealand at Direct Sewing. Our growing collection includes pure wool, merino, alpaca blends, cotton, baby yarns and premium garment yarns for knitting and crochet.

8 ply yarn, also commonly known as DK or double knitting yarn, is one of the most versatile yarn weights for New Zealand makers. It is ideal for sweaters, cardigans, blankets, scarves, beanies, children’s garments, colourwork and everyday accessories.

This medium-weight yarn offers a practical balance between warmth, stitch definition and ease of handling. It is substantial enough for cosy garments and homeware while remaining lighter and more wearable than chunky yarn.

Our range includes trusted brands such as Broadway Yarns, Crucci, DMC, Rowan, Sirdar and Wool and the Gang, with options for beginners through to experienced knitters and crocheters.
