King Cole Animal Kingdom brings playful texture and bold patterning together in one irresistibly soft yarn. Each shade features a unique animal‑inspired print effect, creating natural stripes and mottled patches as you knit. Whether you’re making a cosy cowl, a statement cardigan, or a soft toy with personality, the yarn does the visual work for you — producing eye‑catching results with minimal effort.

The plush, short‑pile eyelash texture gives projects a warm, comforting feel, ideal for children’s makes, winter accessories, and home décor. Despite its fluffy appearance, it knits smoothly on 5mm needles and pairs beautifully with other King Cole aran and chunky yarns for mixed‑texture projects.

Each shade comes in a cute 100g cake, ready to knit straight from the ball.

A fun, tactile yarn full of character — perfect for adding a touch of wild charm to your next project.
