50g. 31% Wool, 65% Acrylic, 4% Soft Payette. DK.
£3.99
King Cole Galaxy DK brings a quiet sparkle to your knitting without overwhelming the stitch — the soft payette metallic runs through the fabric like a scatter of light, making it ideal for an evening shrug, a glittery Christmas jumper, or a decorative cowl that catches the eye. The wool content gives the yarn just enough structure to hold its shape, while the acrylic keeps the whole thing light and workable on the needles.
At 31% wool and 65% acrylic, Galaxy DK has a soft, slightly bouncy hand feel with a smooth draw as it feeds off the ball. The 4% soft payette adds a fine shimmer rather than a scratchy glitter, so it sits comfortably against the skin in a lightweight wrap or a festive hat. Stitch definition is clean and consistent, making it well suited to simple textures and garter stitch panels where the sparkle can do the talking.
The Galaxy palette leans into its name with rich jewel tones, soft silvery neutrals, and deep midnight hues that suit the metallic thread beautifully. Whether you choose a midnight navy for a cable-knit beanie or a soft rose for a baby shower cardigan, the shimmer reads differently in each colourway — subtle in lighter shades, more dramatic in the deeper ones.
The high acrylic content means Galaxy DK is machine washable, making it a practical choice for children’s accessories, gift knitting, or anything that sees regular use. It holds its colour well over time and won’t felt the way a pure wool yarn would, so it travels well through a wash. A 50g ball gives you a generous 175m, meaning a single ball is plenty for a hat or a pair of mittens.
