King Cole Jamboree DK - Glamping Green

DK stands for Double Knitting. It's a yarn weight category that is thicker than fingering or sport weight but thinner than worsted weight. It's versatile and commonly used for garments.

Yes, the 100% Anti-Pill Acrylic is soft and machine washable, making it a practical choice for baby garments. Always check patterns for specific yarn suitability for infants.

Variegated yarns have inherent color changes. For large projects where color consistency is crucial, consider using yarn from the same dye lot. For specific stripe patterns, you might need to manually break and rejoin the yarn to control the color placement.

While possible, the variegated nature might not be ideal for detailed amigurumi where solid colors are often preferred to highlight stitch definition and features. However, it can create unique textured effects.

Anti-Pill Acrylic is a type of acrylic yarn treated or spun in a way that makes it resistant to forming small balls (pills) on the surface after wear and washing, thus maintaining a smoother appearance longer.

Each 100g ball contains approximately 300 meters (328 yards) of yarn.

It is best to avoid mixing different dye lots as there can be slight variations in color between them. Purchase enough yarn from a single dye lot to complete your project.

Ensure the ball is rolling freely and avoid pulling yarn too tightly from the center, which can cause tangles. If it does tangle, gently work the knot out rather than pulling hard.

Be mindful of your tension as the color shifts. Try to maintain a consistent grip on the yarn and needles/hook throughout your work.

While designed to be anti-pill, excessive friction can still cause minor pilling over time. Gentle washing and avoiding abrasive contact can help minimize this.

Experiment with slightly larger or smaller needle/hook sizes. Ensure you are following the recommended size (4mm) as a starting point and swatch carefully.
