King Cole Big Value Baby 2Ply is a wonderfully fine 100% acrylic yarn that delivers an impressive 800 metres per 100g ball, making it one of the most generous and practical choices for handknitted baby projects. Soft enough for a newborn’s delicate skin, this smooth 2ply knits up beautifully on 2.75mm needles with crisp stitch definition that really shines in intricate lace patterns, delicate ribbing, and heirloom-style designs. Whether you’re crafting a christening shawl, a matinee jacket, a cosy blanket, or a set of tiny bootees, one ball goes a remarkable distance. The colour range focuses on gentle pastels, soft whites, and classic neutrals that feel perfectly suited to precious little ones. Being 100% acrylic, it’s machine washable and hardwearing — a practical blessing for busy parents — and it holds its colour and shape beautifully through repeated washing.
