King Cole Homespun Prism DK – 5194 Foxglove

Description

Merino and alpaca softness in a self-striping DK that does the colour work for you

Homespun Prism DK from King Cole blends merino, alpaca, acrylic, polyamide, and viscose into a yarn that brings natural softness and a subtle sheen to every project. The self-striping colour sequence means your stitches shift through tones gradually, giving a handcrafted, artisan feel to a cosy cable-knit cardigan or a textured colourwork hat without any joining or weaving in extra ends.

A fibre blend that earns its softness

The merino and alpaca content give this DK a smooth, slightly hazy hand feel that sits gently against the skin — ideal for a fitted ribbed jumper or a baby blanket where comfort really counts. The acrylic and polyamide add resilience and keep the yarn bouncy on the needle, while the viscose contributes a soft drape and a quiet lustre in the finished fabric.

Colour that builds as you knit

Prism lives up to its name with tonal, variegated colourways that shift naturally through the ball, so a simple stocking-stitch cowl or a striped beanie takes on depth and character with very little effort. The colour transitions feel organic rather than mechanical, giving handknits a pleasingly unplanned, artisan look.

Practical enough for everyday wear

The synthetic content in this blend means the yarn holds its shape well over time, making it a reliable choice for a children’s jumper or everyday accessories that see regular use. Always check the ball band before washing, as the merino and alpaca fibres benefit from a careful, gentle approach to laundering.
