King Cole Linendale DK – 5246 Opal

Description

A cotton-linen blend that brings relaxed structure to your summer knitting

Linendale DK from King Cole is the yarn you reach for when you want your finished piece to have that effortlessly cool, breathable quality — think a breezy short-sleeved top or a lightweight market bag that softens beautifully with wear. The natural fibres give your knitting a subtle drape that synthetic blends simply can’t replicate.

A crisp yet fluid blend that rewards clean stitch work

Spun from 57% cotton, 30% viscose, and 13% linen, Linendale DK sits comfortably in the hand with a smooth, slightly matte finish that shows off stitch detail with real clarity. The viscose content adds a gentle fluidity, preventing the stiffness that a pure linen yarn can sometimes bring, so your fabric relaxes into shape without losing its crispness.

Earthy, nature-inspired tones that suit the fibre’s character

The colour palette leans into the natural story of the yarn — expect soft neutrals, warm taupes, and fresh brights that feel right at home on a linen-cotton blend. These are tones that work beautifully for a relaxed summer cardigan or a textured tote bag you’ll want to carry all season.

Easy-care for a natural yarn, and kind to sensitive skin

Cotton and linen blends are a practical choice for warm-weather wear — they’re breathable, durable, and grow softer the more they’re used. A 30°C hand or machine wash keeps things simple, and the blend’s natural composition makes it a gentle option for knitting a baby summer outfit or a lightweight wrap.
