Cottonsmooth Like Butter (and there's a shade like butter, too!)
Posted by Casper Alixander on
A little while ago a new yarn graced our shelves, the King Cole Cottonsmooth DK, and we literally haven't shut up about it since. As we speak Eleanor is talking about it to a customer, if that shows you how popular it is.
It's 100% mercerised cotton, making it ridiculously silky and absolutely gorgeous to work with. Eleanor knitted a shop sample, a tank top (pictured) and every now and then I just go to stroke it because... smooth. So smooth. It's got a pretty standard yardage, 218yds per 100g, so a good few balls will make your garment and you won't need to worry about running out.
Baby Pure-ly Perfect

This yarn is geared more towards babies but don't let the name fool you, you should absolutely treat yourself to something made in this devilishly soft yarn. It's 70% premium acrylic and a whopping 30% polyamide, which makes this yarn so soft it's like you're knitting with a kitten.

Cotton Top (of the Pile) DK
Posted by Casper Alixander on
It's no secret that we adore cotton yarn in this shop. Whether it's 100% cotton or a cotton blend there is always something that gives it just that heavenly drape and super-soft feel. It's so good for summer, but I wear it in the winter too just because I can't resist it.

Drifter, Drifter, Drifter... You'll hear that word mentioned a million times in the shop, and it's for a good reason. King Cole's Drifter range is one of the most popular, if not the most popular, in the shop.
