Last week on the blog we explained what "backorder" means.
This week we are showing you some of the amazing yarns from King Cole that are currently on backorder.
Take a look below, and get ordering!
King Cole Bamboo Cotton DK 100g
A 50/50 blend of bamboo viscose and cotton, this yarn brings a natural drape and subtle sheen that synthetic fibres simply can’t replicate. It’s a reliable choice for warm-weather making, sitting comfortably in the double knitting weight category without any of the scratchiness sometimes associated with pure cotton.
A natural fit for lightweight summer tops, short-sleeved cardigans, and market bags where drape matters. It’s also well suited to baby garments such as bonnets, booties, and sleep gowns, where a soft, breathable fibre is essential.
The palette leans towards clean, wearable tones — soft neutrals, fresh pastels, and a handful of deeper shades that work equally well for garments or accessories.
King Cole Cottagespun Chunky 150g
King Cole Cottagespun Chunky is a wonderfully satisfying 100% acrylic yarn that brings rustic, homespun charm to every project you cast on.
The chunky weight makes it well suited to chunky cable jumpers, oversized cardigans, and cosy hats and scarves. It’s also a practical pick for quick-knit cushion covers and lap blankets where easy-care washability matters as much as the finished look.
The palette leans into warm, heathered tones that suit the rustic character of the yarn — expect earthy neutrals alongside a handful of richer, countryside-inspired shades.
King Cole Cottonsoft Crystal DK 100g
Cottonsoft Crystal DK blends the cool, breathable feel of 100% cotton with a fine glitter thread running through the strand, giving finished fabric a subtle shimmer without overwhelming the stitch definition. It’s a reliable, wash-friendly choice that handles everyday making just as comfortably as occasion pieces.
A natural fit for lightweight summer tops, short-sleeved cardigans, and cotton baby bonnets and booties where a gentle sparkle adds a celebratory touch. It also works well for small accessories such as market bags and cosmetic purses where the shimmer reads beautifully in a simple stitch.
The palette runs through soft pastels and classic neutrals, each carrying a crystal thread that reads differently depending on the shade — cooler tones take on an icy glint while warmer shades lean golden.
King Cole Cuddles Chunky 50g
King Cole Cuddles Chunky is well suited to items worn close to skin. It is a reliable choice for baby blankets, pram covers, and nursery accessories where washability matters as much as softness. It also works well for children’s chunky cardigans, hooded scarves, and simple cowls that need to be laundered regularly.
The range covers the soft pastels and neutral shades you’d expect for baby and children’s projects, with enough variety to suit both classic and contemporary palettes.
King Cole Yumtastic 100g
King Cole Yumtastic is a fluffy, faux-fur novelty yarn that produces a thick, plush pile that gives finished projects an irresistibly soft, furry texture straight off the needles.
This yarn is ideally suited to children’s hats and scarves, teddy bears and stuffed animals, and novelty cushion covers where that plush, tactile finish is the whole point. It also works up quickly into cosy bed socks and warm ear warmers.
The palette leans into bold, playful shades alongside classic neutrals, making it easy to find something suitable for both children’s makes and fun adult accessories.
King Cole Crescendo Aran 100g
At aran weight with a firm structure, it suits crew-neck jumpers, cabled cushion covers, and cosy hot water bottle covers. The stitch clarity also makes it a sensible pick for children’s cardigans and simple hat-and-scarf sets where durability matters as much as appearance.
The palette covers practical everyday shades alongside a selection of brighter tones, giving enough choice to work across seasonal projects without being overwhelmed by options.
