200g. 100% Polyester. Novelty.
King Cole Toastie is a 100% polyester novelty yarn with a plush, textured character that gives finished fabric an immediate warmth and softness straight off the needles. It’s a reliable, easy-care choice that launders at 30°C, making it practical for everyday items and gifts alike.
Working on 8mm needles at a relaxed tension of 8 stitches and 12 rows to 10cm, this yarn knits up quickly and suits beginners comfortable with larger hooks and needles. The textured surface means stitch definition is minimal, so simple construction — stocking stitch, garter stitch, or basic shaping — works far better than intricate patterning.
It’s well suited to scarves, cowls, and ear warmers where the plush texture can really show itself off. Chunky hot-water bottle covers, lap blankets, and simple pull-on hats also make strong use of the yarn’s bulk and speed of knitting.
The palette leans into cosy, warming tones — think heathered neutrals and rich seasonal shades that complement the yarn’s textured character.
