FAQs

What weight is King Cole Truffle yarn?

King Cole Truffle is typically a DK (Double Knitting) weight yarn, but it's always best to check the specific dye lot information on the ball band for precise details.

Can I use this yarn for amigurumi?

Yes, it can be used for amigurumi, especially if you want a very soft and huggable finished toy. However, its fluffiness might make stitch definition less precise than with smoother yarns.

Is this yarn hypoallergenic?

While the yarn is very soft, specific hypoallergenic claims depend on the fiber content. It's generally well-suited for sensitive skin due to its gentle texture.

How many yards are in a ball?

Yardage can vary slightly by colorway. Please refer to the product packaging or the manufacturer's website for the exact yardage per ball for the yellow color.

What projects are NOT recommended for this yarn?

This yarn is less ideal for items that require significant structure, durability, or frequent heavy washing, such as rugs or sturdy bags.

Can I machine wash items made with this yarn?

It is strongly recommended to hand wash items made from King Cole Truffle yarn to maintain their softness and prevent damage. Machine washing, even on a delicate cycle, can alter the texture.

Troubleshooting

Yarn splitting during knitting/crocheting

Ensure you are using the correct needle/hook size as recommended on the label. Try to catch the plies of the yarn as you work, rather than splitting them.

Finished item feels less soft after washing

Ensure you followed the hand wash and lay flat to dry instructions precisely. Avoid harsh detergents or machine drying, which can damage the fibers.

Color bleeding

Perform a swatch test before starting your project. If bleeding occurs, wash the item separately in cool water with a color catcher sheet.
