Yes. It isn't the number of plies that determine whether a yarn is called DK (double knitting weight), but the over all thickness of the yarn. Plus, you don't necessarily have to use DK yarn to double knit. Any two yarns of matching thickness can be used. You should check your pattern for the correct gauge and weight of yarn to make sure the finished garment will fit as expected.

The number of plies don't determine the weight of the yarn, as the separate plies can be any weight. The best way to determine a potential yarn replacement is by knitting gauge swatches.

What is double?
do you mean dk or double knit yarn ? if so this is basically equal to USA sport yarn. It is non American version and knits at between 5-6 stitches to the inch using a number 5 - 6 needle ........ OR ..... did you mean just using the yarn double as in using two strands at once? if your pattern says use the yarn double then just use two strands at once by pulling from two skeins and holding both threads together when your work .
DNA molecules has how many strands?
DNA molecule is normally double stranded
What is double yarn and simple yarn?

What is the bond that connects two strands together?
Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of the double helix together.
What shape do two strands of DNA form?
double helix
What are the two strands of a double stranded chromosome called?
The double helix.
How many DNA strands do have in most cells?
DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides twisted into a double helix.
How many strands is DNA made of?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
Is DNA replication conservative or semi conservative?
Semi conservative. The double strand splits into two strands and then a strand is replicated from the template of the two strands constructing four total strands. Two original and two copies.
What is the difference of double yarn and single knitting yarn?
"Double knit," refers to the weight or thickness of the yarn. Double knit is between sport weight and worsted weight. It is named for the knitting technique that most often calls for this weight: double knitting. Double knitting is the knitting of a two sided fabric that is reversable with a two color pattern on one side and the negative of that pattern on the reverse side. It is called double knitting because both sides are knit at the same time on one set of needles. "4 ply" refers to the number of individual strands twisted together to form a yarn. A yarn with two strands is called "2 ply," and so on. The number of plies determines, to a degree, the fluffiness or smoothness of a yarn. Yarn with more plies is generally smoother and less fluffy. The number of plies does not determine the weight or thickness of the yarn. It is possible to have a double knit yarn that is also 4-ply, or to have a thicker yarn that is has more or fewer plies. The same is true with a thinner yarn.
Which best describes the structure of a DNA molecule-?
a double helix- apex
Then the two single strands of?
There are two single strands which are found in the DNA molecule. Each of strand will act as the template for the next one in the double helix molecule.
