King Cole Opium is a novelty yarn that builds striking, tactile fabric with very little effort on your part — the yarn’s own looped and textured construction creates visual interest stitch by stitch. Whether you’re knitting a cosy throw, a quick-stitch cowl, or a weekend wrap, Opium lets the yarn take centre stage.
Spun from 54% cotton, 42% acrylic, and 4% polyamide, Opium has a soft, slightly spongy hand feel with just enough structure to keep your stitches readable. The cotton content gives it a pleasant weight and cool touch, while the acrylic and polyamide add resilience and help the yarn hold its distinctive looped texture through wear and washing.
Opium comes in a range of richly toned shades that work beautifully with its textured surface, giving finished pieces a depth that plain yarns simply can’t match. The variegated and tonal options are particularly effective on a chunky knit cushion cover or a simple tote bag, where the colour can move and shift across the fabric.
With 250 metres per 100g ball and a generous 6mm needle size, projects knit up quickly — ideal if you’re looking for a satisfying finish without weeks of work. The cotton-blend composition means the fabric breathes well, making it a smart choice for accessories you’ll reach for across the seasons.
