50g. 60% Extra Fine Merino Wool, 40% Cashmere Effect Polyamide. DK.
£4.99
King Cole Little Lamb DK brings together the gentle warmth of extra fine merino wool with the softness of a cashmere-effect polyamide, making it a natural choice for anything that will sit close to a baby’s skin. Whether you’re casting on a delicate newborn cardigan or a textured baby blanket, every stitch feels considered and cared for.
The 60% extra fine merino gives Little Lamb DK a smooth, springy handle with just enough structure to produce neat, even stitch definition on 4mm needles. The 40% cashmere-effect polyamide adds a subtle silkiness and helps the yarn glide effortlessly, so you’ll find it a pleasure to work stocking stitch or simple lace on a baby bonnet or booties set.
The palette leans into soft, muted tones — think quiet creams, dusky lilacs, and gentle pinks — perfectly suited to classic baby knits. Each shade is calm enough to let the texture of a cabled baby jacket or an heirloom-style shawl do the talking.
Despite its delicate feel, Little Lamb DK is designed with busy families in mind, offering easy-care properties that make it a sensible choice for frequently washed baby items. The polyamide content adds durability, so a lovingly knitted sleep suit or snuggly hat will hold its shape through regular gentle washes and stay looking beautiful wear after wear.
