King Cole Beaches DK gives you a smooth, consistent yarn that knits up with crisp stitch definition — ideal whether you’re working a textured beach bag, a relaxed summer cardigan, or a colourful striped blanket. The 255m per 100g ball means you get generous yardage, so you can cast on with confidence and focus on the making.
Spun from 70% Acrylic and 30% Polyamide, Beaches DK has a smooth, slightly bouncy hand feel that glides easily on your needles. The polyamide content adds just enough strength to keep your stitches neat and the fabric resistant to wear, making it a practical choice for a cotton-style summer knit or a hardworking tote bag.
The Beaches palette draws on sun-bleached, seaside tones — think soft sandy neutrals, faded blues, and warm terracotta shades that work beautifully in striped or colour-block designs. Each shade knits up with an even, consistent finish that lets the colour do the talking.
This yarn is built for projects that actually get used — the acrylic-polyamide blend is durable, holds its shape wash after wash, and is a sensible pick for a children’s seaside jumper or a frequently-used market bag. You can knit generously knowing the finished piece won’t need coddling.
