FAQs

What is the fiber content of this yarn?

King Cole Riot Chunky is made from a blend of 30% wool and 70% premium acrylic.

How much yarn is in each ball?

Each ball of King Cole Riot Chunky contains 100g of yarn.

Can I use this yarn for baby items?

While the wool blend provides warmth, always consider the sensitivity of the baby's skin. Test a small swatch first.

What needle/hook size should I use?

Needle/hook size will depend on your pattern and desired gauge. Check the yarn label for recommended sizes, but feel free to adjust to achieve the desired fabric density.

Can I machine wash items made with this yarn?

Hand washing is recommended to preserve the quality and color. If machine washing, use a gentle cycle and cold water.

Is the color Moors (658) consistent across different dye lots?

Color variations can occur between dye lots. It is always recommended to purchase all the yarn needed for a project at the same time.

How do I prevent the yarn from splitting while knitting or crocheting?

Use sharp, appropriately sized needles or hooks. Ensure a consistent tension and avoid pulling too hard on the yarn.

Troubleshooting

Yarn is tangling during knitting or crocheting.

Ensure the yarn ball is placed in a way that allows it to unwind smoothly. Consider using a yarn bowl.

Colors are not transitioning as expected.

This is a characteristic of self-patterning yarn. The color changes may vary; embrace the unique design.

Finished item is shrinking after washing.

Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. Avoid hot water and the dryer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Choose your needles or hook size according to the pattern or desired gauge. A larger needle/hook will result in a looser fabric and more prominent color changes.

  3. Ensure you have enough yarn for your project by calculating yardage and purchasing enough balls.

Compatibility:

Care:

  • Hand wash your finished items in cool water with a mild detergent.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
