King Cole Safari Chunky is your go-to yarn when you want satisfying results without a long wait — ideal for a chunky cable-knit jumper, a cosy winter scarf, or a quick-knit hat that actually holds its shape. The generous 150g ball means fewer joins and more uninterrupted knitting rhythm.
This 100% acrylic yarn has a smooth, slightly firm hand feel that gives you crisp stitch definition — cables and texture stitches come through clearly rather than getting lost in the fibres. It knits up with a consistent, even tension that beginners and experienced knitters alike will find straightforward to manage on 6mm needles.
The Safari palette draws on warm, earthy tones — think ochres, rusts, and natural browns alongside cooler neutrals — making it well suited to a textured oversized cardigan or a colour-blocked blanket. These are shades that feel considered rather than garish, lending your finished pieces a grounded, wearable quality.
Being 100% acrylic, Safari Chunky is machine washable and holds its colour and structure wash after wash — a practical choice for a children’s chunky jumper or a much-used throw that needs regular laundering. It’s also a reliable option if you’re knitting gifts, as the recipient won’t need to fuss over care instructions.
