Collection: King Cole Rebel 4 Ply

King Cole Rebel 4 Ply is a hard-wearing 4 ply from King Cole, made up of 75% Superwash and 25% Nylon. Each ball weighs 100g and gives 400m, so there is plenty on the ball for a pair of socks or a larger project without joining in halfway.

It is worked on 3.25mm needles, with a tension of 36 rows and 28 stitches to 10x10cm. That makes it a sensible choice for socks, mitts, shawls and fine-gauge garments, and the nylon content adds the durability you want at the heel and toe. It also takes well to colourwork and stranded patterns at this gauge.

The range comes in four shades — Defiance, Maverick and Renegade among them — and all of them are in stock at our shop in Ledbury, where we are happy to wind a ball or talk through quantities. Order online too, with free UK delivery on orders over £50.
