Can DK be used for longies or is it really better to use aran weight?

It can but I've found it doesn't work as well as Aran :roll: We get leaks in a quarter of the time

I always use DK for all my nappy cover, as it's slimmer, but I knit it on smaller needles than recommended for the yarn. It's a bit more work, but is super efficient, and that bit less bulky than aran
