King Cole Yummy is a 100% polyester novelty yarn with a plush, faux-fur texture that gives finished projects an instantly cosy, fluffy finish. It’s a reliable, easy-care choice designed for quick, satisfying makes rather than intricate stitch work.
Working on 6mm needles, it moves quickly through the hands and the generous pile hides stitches almost entirely, so tension inconsistencies disappear into the fabric. Because the texture obscures the knit structure, stocking stitch and simple garter stitch are the most practical choices — attempting cables or lace is largely pointless, as the definition is buried in the pile.
It suits quick weekend makes: snug hats, ear warmers, and cowls all knit up fast and show off the fluffy texture well. It’s also a popular choice for novelty cushion covers and children’s soft-toy trims where that plush pile is the whole point.
The palette leans into soft, tonal shades — pastels and neutral fluffies that suit accessories and gift makes.
