About The Yarn
King Cole Cotton Soft DK is 100% cotton, and it comes as no surprise to say this yarn really is super soft! It also comes in a range of delicious pastels, neutrals and muted berries, with staple basics black, French navy and wine! Iāll share some of my favourite shades below.
I chose this yarn because itās a natural fibre and feels really soft. As this design will sit directly on the skin, itās important to have a soft fibre. Please note that it is advised that you wash your garment before wearing it for the first time, as the fibres may shed a little.
