King Cole Riot DK – 240 Rhapsody

Description

Bold colour and easy knitting in one cheerful DK

King Cole Riot DK is built for knitters who want vivid, self-striping results without the faff of managing multiple balls. Whether you’re casting on a cosy ribbed jumper or a textured baby blanket, the yarn does the colour work for you, producing lively stripes as you knit.

A wool-blend that knits up smoothly and holds its shape

With 30% wool in the mix, Riot DK has a pleasant softness and just enough bounce to give your stitches a satisfying spring. The 70% acrylic keeps the fabric stable and helps it retain its shape row after row, making it a reliable choice for a striped hat or a children’s jumper where durability matters as much as looks.

Playful self-striping colourways that knit themselves

The colourway range runs from bold, high-contrast combinations to softer, more muted tonal palettes, so you can pick the mood that suits your project. Even a simple stocking stitch cowl becomes visually interesting straight off the needles.

Easy-care and practical for everyday wear

The acrylic content means this yarn is straightforward to care for, standing up to regular use and washing without losing its colour or shape — ideal for children’s accessories or a cosy pair of striped socks. It’s a sensible, cheerful yarn for projects that need to last.
