King Cole Yumtastic is a novelty yarn that brings instant visual interest to your project without any complicated stitch work — the texture does the talking for you. Whether you’re knitting a cosy children’s scarf or a fun character-filled cushion cover, this yarn creates a bold, fluffy effect straight off the needles. It’s a great pick when you want something eye-catching that knits up quickly on larger needles.
Made from 85% polyester and 15% polyamide, Yumtastic has a light, springy feel with a shaggy, textured surface that gives your finished pieces real depth and dimension. It knits up on 6mm needles with a relaxed tension, so stitches form quickly and the novelty character of the yarn stays intact. The polyamide content adds just enough strength to keep that fluffy texture resilient over time.
The Yumtastic palette leans into bright, playful shades that suit children’s accessories and novelty gift knits beautifully. Each colourway lets the textured surface catch the light in a lively, informal way that solid yarns simply can’t replicate. If you’re making a pompom-trimmed baby blanket edging or a fluffy winter headband, the colour range gives you plenty of cheerful options to work with.
The synthetic blend means Yumtastic is robust and straightforward to look after — ideal for children’s items or gifts that will see regular use and washing. Its polyester base resists pilling well, keeping that textured finish looking lively wash after wash. This is a reliable, practical yarn that delivers a fun result without demanding careful handling.
