King Cole Giza Cotton Sorbet 4Ply is a beautifully refined summer yarn spun from 100% Giza mercerised cotton, offering a smooth, almost silky feel with a subtle sheen that makes every stitch sit crisp and neat. At 4Ply weight, each 50g ball gives you a generous 158 metres to work with on 3.25mm needles, making it ideal for lightweight warm-weather projects such as lace tops, fitted tees, and delicate baby booties. The mercerisation process lends the yarn excellent stitch definition and a cool, firm hand — a real pleasure for fine knitting. The Sorbet palette brings together soft, fruity tones — muted blush, sage, pale citrus — lifted by that gentle lustre into something quietly elegant. As a natural cotton, it’s also a thoughtful choice for anyone with wool sensitivity, and it holds its shape wash after wash when hand washed and dried flat.
