100g. 100% Polyester. Novelty.
King Cole Velveteen is a 100% polyester novelty yarn with a dense, plush pile that gives finished fabric a soft, velvet-like texture. It is reliable and easy-care — fully machine washable and quick to dry — making it a practical choice for projects that need to look striking without demanding fussy aftercare.
Working on 10mm needles, the fabric grows quickly and the pile disguises tension inconsistencies well, which makes it forgiving for less experienced knitters. The thick pile does obscure stitch definition, so intricate lace or cable patterns won’t read clearly — straightforward stocking stitch or simple knit-purl combinations suit it best.
This yarn is well suited to cushion covers, photo-frame edgings, and decorative home accessories where the velvet finish adds visual weight. It also works beautifully for children’s toy covers, Christmas stockings, and cosy cowls where warmth of appearance matters as much as warmth of wear.
The palette leans towards rich, saturated shades alongside softer neutrals, with the pile lending each colour a slightly muted, luxe depth that reads differently in artificial and natural light.
