With 535 metres wound into every 150g ball, King Cole Harvest DK gives you a satisfying head start on larger makes — think a cosy cable-knit cardigan or a chunky striped jumper without reaching for a second ball quite so soon. That extra length means fewer joins, tidier seams, and more time spent simply knitting.
The 90% acrylic base gives Harvest DK a bouncy, consistent tension that works beautifully on 4mm needles, whilst the 10% alpaca introduces a gentle softness and a subtle warmth to the hand feel. Stitches sit cleanly and evenly, so textured patterns — cables, seed stitch, basket weave — come through with crisp definition.
True to its name, Harvest DK is offered in a palette of warm, natural-leaning shades that suit everything from a textured baby blanket to a relaxed adult pullover. The heathered and tonal colourways add quiet visual depth without demanding complicated colour work.
The acrylic-dominant blend means Harvest DK is machine washable and holds its shape well through repeated wear and washing — a real advantage for children’s knitwear or frequently used accessories. It’s a dependable, everyday yarn that earns its place in your project bag.
