King Cole Orchard DK

King Cole Orchard DK is a beautifully balanced double knitting yarn that blends 55% Merino Superwash Wool with 45% Antipilling Acrylic, giving you the best of both worlds in every 100g ball. With a generous 290 metres to work with, it’s wonderfully soft against the skin — none of the scratchiness you sometimes encounter in wool-mix yarns — while the acrylic content keeps your finished fabric bouncy, shape-retaining, and resistant to pilling over time. The smooth twist delivers crisp stitch definition that really shows off cables, lace, and colourwork, making it ideal for cardigans, jumpers, hats, and children’s knitwear alike. Worked on 4mm needles, it knits up at a satisfying pace, and the Superwash treatment means finished makes can go straight in the machine wash — perfect for everyday wear and much-loved gifts.
