It's possible the 'extrafine' refers to the type of merino, not the weight. Which yarn is it? You can tell if the gauge for it is done on size 2-4 needles, that would about fingering weight.

Hi! Thanks for the info! The size needles are 6...

That would be a DK weight, then, about 3 times the thickness of a fingering weigh.
