King Cole Opium is a gorgeous novelty yarn that does the decorative hard work for you, its looped and textured construction building striking, tactile fabric stitch by stitch without any fuss. Spun from a clever blend of 54% cotton, 42% acrylic, and 4% polyamide, each 100g ball gives you a generous 250 metres to play with and has a soft, slightly spongy hand feel with just enough structure to keep everything looking intentional. Worked up on 6mm needles, projects knit beautifully quickly — think cosy throws, chunky cowls, cushion covers, weekend wraps, and simple tote bags that you can finish in no time. The cotton content keeps the fabric breathable and comfortable across the seasons, while the acrylic and polyamide add resilience and help the yarn hold its distinctive texture through wear and washing. The richly toned shade range gives finished pieces real depth and character that plain yarns simply cannot match.
