100g. 100% Anti-Pilling Acrylic. DK.
King Cole Cherish DK is a 100% anti-pilling acrylic that delivers consistent, practical performance across a wide range of everyday makes. The anti-pilling treatment means it holds its surface well through repeated wear and washing — a genuine advantage over standard budget acrylics that can look tired after a few washes.
This yarn knits up smoothly on 4mm needles and feeds evenly from the ball without splitting or snagging mid-row. The slight elasticity in the ply helps it recover well in stocking stitch, and it holds its structure neatly enough for simple cables and textured stitches.
A 250m ball makes it well suited to crew-neck jumpers and cardigans for adults and children alike. It’s also a practical choice for granny-square blankets, where ease of care matters as much as the knit, and works well for baby bonnets and booties where machine-washability is a priority.
The palette covers everyday neutrals alongside a solid selection of brights and pastels — useful across children’s and adult projects without needing to mix brands.
