Designer’s Note Salem is more comparable to a worsted weight than DK, despite its classification as such. Knitting it at a gauge of 16.5 sts over 4” produces an average stockinette fabric; it is not overly firm nor overly loose. When substituting yarns, look to a worsted or light worsted weight rather than a DK.
