Cherished 4Ply is a 100% low-pill acrylic 4ply yarn from King Cole, engineered to resist the bobbling that plagues lesser budget acrylics over time. At 410 metres per 100g ball, it offers generous yardage that makes it a practical choice for projects where quantity matters without compromising on finish.
This yarn runs smoothly off the needle and knits up without splitting, which makes it particularly forgiving for fine-gauge work where split stitches would show. The low-pill formula holds its surface well through repeated wear and washing, so finished garments stay looking neat long after the needles are put away.
Well suited to baby bonnets and booties, where the machine-washable care and soft finish are a real advantage. It also works up neatly for lightweight socks, fine-gauge cardigans, and shawls where stitch definition matters at a smaller scale.
The range spans classic neutrals alongside soft pastels and brighter shades, giving it broad appeal across baby, children’s, and adult projects.
