Source disagreement
Manufacturer introduction says DK; its specification field says 2 – Sport. Neither is silently substituted for the other. Source 1
We retain source units. Published pairings of 4 inches and 10 cm are approximate. “Not verified” means no supported value is recorded here; it does not mean the yarn lacks that property.
