Collection: King Cole Yumtastic

King Cole Yumtastic is a chenille-feel yarn from King Cole, made up of 85% polyester and 15% polyamide. Each ball is 100g and gives roughly 100m, worked on 6mm needles at a tension of 10 stitches and 20 rows to 10x10cm. That combination knits up quickly, so a blanket square or a soft toy comes together in an evening or two.

With its plush handle and easy-care fibre, it suits baby blankets, cot throws, cuddly toys and anything else that will be washed often and handled a lot. The chunky gauge also makes it a friendly choice for newer knitters and crocheters who want to see progress quickly.

There are 12 shades in the range, including Sugar Cloud, Cherry Lollipop and Liquorice Swirl. The full range is in stock at our shop in Ledbury, where you are welcome to squeeze a ball before you buy, and we offer free UK delivery on orders over 50 pounds.
