Dollymix DK from King Cole comes in petite 25g balls, making it ideal when you need small quantities of multiple shades — perfect for striped baby bootees, colourful toy knitting, or a patchwork doll’s wardrobe. Each ball gives you a neat 73 metres to work with, so you can plan your yardage precisely without wasteful leftovers.
This 100% acrylic yarn has a smooth, consistent texture that glides easily through your fingers and produces crisp stitch definition across stocking stitch and simple textured patterns. At DK weight on 4mm needles, it knits up at a satisfying pace — great for a textured baby blanket or a run of small colourwork squares.
The Dollymix palette leans into cheerful, saturated shades that hold their colour well wash after wash. Whether you’re alternating stripes in a baby cardigan or picking contrasting tones for a knitted toy, the range is designed to play nicely together.
Being 100% acrylic, Dollymix DK is robust enough for children’s items that need regular laundering — machine washable at 40°C and tumble-dryable on a low setting, it keeps its shape and colour through everyday wear and repeated washes. It’s a sensible, cheerful choice for baby shower gifts and children’s accessories that will actually get used.
