King Cole Homespun DK – 5114 Amber

Description

A rustic, tweedy DK that brings warmth and texture to everyday knits

King Cole Homespun DK blends merino, alpaca, and a touch of tweed to give your knitting a beautifully organic, lived-in character. Whether you’re casting on a relaxed weekend jumper or a cosy cable-knit cardigan, this yarn rewards you with a fabric that feels warm and looks effortlessly handcrafted.

A softly textured blend with genuine natural warmth

The combination of 22% merino and 22% alpaca means Homespun DK sits comfortably against the skin — soft without being floppy, with just enough body to hold its shape. The 10% tweed component adds subtle flecks of colour throughout, giving your finished fabric a tactile, slightly rustic depth that plain yarns simply can’t replicate.

Earthy, characterful tones that suit the yarn’s nature

The colourway palette leans into the yarn’s country-cottage personality, with heathered, muted shades that let the tweed speckling do the talking. These tones work especially well in a textured baby blanket or a chunky knit hat where the fabric itself is the focal point.

Practical enough for regular wear, easy to care for

The 23% acrylic and 23% nylon content add durability and help the yarn hold its structure through repeated use and washing. This makes Homespun DK a sensible choice for accessories and outerwear you’ll reach for season after season.
