Magi-Knit DK from James C Brett is the kind of yarn that earns its place in your project bag — consistent, cooperative, and ready for everything from a cosy cable-knit cardigan to a cheerful striped tote bag. With 300 metres per ball, you get generous yardage that keeps interruptions between skeins to a minimum.
The 90% acrylic and 10% polyamide blend gives Magi-Knit a slightly firmer hand than pure acrylic, with just enough nylon to add resilience and reduce pilling over time. It feeds smoothly through your fingers and off the needle, producing crisp stitch definition that makes textured stitch patterns — seed stitch borders, simple cables — really pop.
Magi-Knit DK comes in a broad palette that stretches from clean neutrals to vivid brights, so whether you’re knitting a textured baby blanket in soft pastels or a graphic colourwork cushion cover, there’s a shade to suit your vision. The colours knit up true and consistent throughout the ball.
Machine washable at 30°C and tumble-dryable on a low setting, Magi-Knit is a sensible choice for items that need regular laundering — children’s jumpers, household accessories, or anything gifted to someone who doesn’t hand-wash. The polyamide content helps the fabric hold its shape wash after wash.
