King Cole Galaxy DK is a beautifully blended double knitting yarn that brings a gentle, eye-catching shimmer to every project. Spun from 65% acrylic, 31% wool, and 4% soft payette, each 50g ball offers a generous 175 metres of yarn with a soft, slightly bouncy hand feel that’s a pleasure to work with on 4mm needles. The fine payette thread runs through the fabric like scattered light — subtle enough to sit comfortably against the skin yet striking enough to transform a simple stitch into something special. It’s ideal for festive jumpers, evening wraps, cosy hats, mittens, and decorative cowls. The high acrylic content makes it fully machine washable, so it’s wonderfully practical for gift knitting and children’s accessories too, whilst the wool content lends just enough structure for clean stitch definition throughout.
