100g. 100% Acrylic. Aran.
King Cole Big Value Aran is a 100% acrylic aran-weight yarn designed for makers who want consistent results without fuss. It’s a solid choice for anyone working through a large project or building up a stash on a sensible budget.
This yarn feeds smoothly off the ball and knits up without splitting, even on long sessions. The twist is firm enough to hold cables and textured stitches cleanly, making it more versatile than its budget price suggests. Tension is consistent throughout the ball, which helps when seaming garment pieces together.
It suits crew-neck jumpers, hooded cardigans, and chunky scarves particularly well. The weight and stitch definition also make it a go-to for blankets worked in basketweave or simple cable repeats.
The range covers a broad spread of classic shades — from neutral oatmeals and greys through to bold, saturated tones — so finding a match for a pattern or a recipient is rarely difficult.
