King Cole Opium 3195 lemon yellow

Description

King Cole Opium is a novelty yarn that builds striking, tactile fabric with very little effort on your part — the yarn’s own looped and textured construction creates visual interest stitch by stitch. Whether you’re knitting a cosy throw, a quick-stitch cowl, or a weekend wrap, Opium lets the yarn take centre stage.

A Blend Built for Bold Texture

Spun from 54% cotton, 42% acrylic, and 4% polyamide, Opium has a soft, slightly spongy hand feel with just enough structure to keep your stitches readable. The cotton content gives it a pleasant weight and cool touch, while the acrylic and polyamide add resilience and help the yarn hold its distinctive looped texture through wear and washing.

Colours With Depth and Character

Opium comes in a range of richly toned shades that work beautifully with its textured surface, giving finished pieces a depth that plain yarns simply can’t match. The variegated and tonal options are particularly effective on a chunky knit cushion cover or a simple tote bag, where the colour can move and shift across the fabric.

Practical, Durable, and Beginner-Friendly

With 250 metres per 100g ball and a generous 6mm needle size, projects knit up quickly — ideal if you’re looking for a satisfying finish without weeks of work. The cotton-blend composition means the fabric breathes well, making it a smart choice for accessories you’ll reach for across the seasons.
