100g. 55% Merino Superwash Wool, 45% Antipilling Acrylic. DK.
£4.99
King Cole Orchard DK brings together the soft warmth of Merino wool and the resilience of antipilling acrylic, giving you a yarn that performs beautifully on projects you’ll wear and wash again and again. Whether you’re casting on a cable-knit cardigan or a textured baby blanket, this blend strikes a confident balance between natural comfort and practical durability.
The 55% Merino Superwash content gives Orchard DK a genuinely soft hand feel against the skin — none of that scratchiness you sometimes find in wool-mix yarns. The 45% antipilling acrylic keeps the fabric bouncy and helps it hold its shape, while the smooth twist delivers crisp stitch definition that makes cables, lace and colourwork all read clearly.
Orchard DK comes in a range of tones that lean into natural, wearable shades — think the kind of colours you’d reach for season after season. The consistent dye take from this blend means your finished fabric looks even and well-considered, whether you’re knitting a striped raglan jumper or a simple ribbed hat.
The Superwash treatment means you can machine wash your finished makes without worry — ideal for children’s knitwear, everyday jumpers and gifted pieces that need to survive real life. The antipilling acrylic component keeps the fabric looking tidy over time, resisting the bobbling that can dull a well-loved knit.
