100g. 98% Acrylic, 2% Viscose. Double Knitting.
£2.99
King Cole Big Value Tweed DK gives you that classic speckled tweed look without the delicate handling of a wool blend — ideal for a cosy cable-knit cardigan, a chunky ribbed scarf, or a relaxed weekend jumper you’ll actually reach for again and again. The flecked effect adds visual depth to even the simplest stitch patterns, making your finished knit look considered and carefully chosen.
The 98% acrylic and 2% viscose blend knits up smoothly on 4mm needles, with just enough drape from the viscose to keep fabric from feeling stiff. You’ll find it feeds evenly from the ball and holds its shape well, giving crisp stitch definition on textured cables or moss stitch panels.
The tweed-effect colourway range leans into warm, muted tones — think heathered greys, rusty browns, and soft oatmeals — with contrasting flecks that catch the light subtly. These are shades that sit beautifully in a handknitted Aran-style waistcoat or a pair of classic knitted mittens.
Because this yarn is predominantly acrylic, it’s a reliable choice for projects that need regular washing — children’s knitwear, everyday accessories, and gifts for people who don’t fuss over laundry labels. With 290m per 100g ball, you get strong yardage that keeps project costs sensible without compromising on length or coverage.
