When the temperature rises, King Cole Summer 4Ply keeps your hands comfortable and your knitting progressing — giving you a beautifully drapey, lightweight fabric that’s perfect for warm-weather wearing. The bamboo and cotton blend means your finished pieces will feel soft and cool against skin, ideal for a lacy summer top or a delicate shawl you’ll reach for all season.
The 55% bamboo brings a silky smoothness and natural sheen to this yarn, whilst the 37% cotton adds structure and keeps your stitches neat and well-defined. The 8% PBT gives just enough elasticity to make it knit up more evenly than a pure plant-fibre yarn, so your tension stays consistent whether you’re working a pair of delicate ankle socks or an openwork beach cover-up.
Summer 4Ply comes in a range of fresh, wearable shades that suit both grown-up and children’s projects beautifully. Whether you’re drawn to soft naturals or punchy seasonal tones, the gentle sheen from the bamboo content gives each colour a polished, summery finish that really comes into its own in lace patterns.
At 450 metres per 100g ball, you get excellent yardage — meaning a lightweight cardigan or a set of baby garments won’t require as many balls as you might expect. The plant-based blend is gentle enough for a textured baby blanket or a child’s summer dress, and the yarn’s natural breathability makes it ideal for anything worn close to the skin in warmer months.
