Product Information

Full details

King Cole Truffle yarn is for crafters seeking an exceptionally soft and luxurious feel for their garments and accessories. Its key benefit is its incredible softness, akin to smooth, silky sweets, making it a pleasure to work with and wear. A potential caveat is its 100% Polyamide composition, which may not offer the same breathability as natural fibers for all applications. This yarn features a fluffy, fashion-forward texture and is available in a range of neutral baby colors, offering 180 meters per 100g ball. It is also machine washable for easy care.

Troubleshooting

Yarn splitting while knitting/crocheting

Ensure you are using the correct needle size for the yarn. Try using a needle with a slightly sharper tip or adjusting your tension. Ensure the yarn is not snagged on the ball.

Finished item feels too warm or not breathable

This is due to the 100% Polyamide content. For projects requiring high breathability, consider blending with natural fibers or using King Cole Truffle for accessories rather than full garments in warm climates.

Color variation between balls

Always check the dye lot number on each ball. Purchase enough yarn for your project from the same dye lot to ensure color consistency. If you notice a significant difference, contact the retailer.

Losing the fluffy texture after washing

Ensure you are following the care instructions precisely. Wash on a gentle cycle with cool water and dry on low heat or lay flat. Avoid harsh detergents or high heat.
