King Cole Toastie is a beautifully plush fleece‑textured yarn that blends softness, warmth and comfort in every stitch. Slightly thicker than a standard chunky and sitting neatly between chunky and super chunky, it’s designed for 8mm needles or hooks and creates a velvety, cosy finish ideal for both knitting and crochet. Perfect for snuggly garments, soft toys and comforting winter makes.

• 100% Polyester
• 200g ball – approx. 100m

Toastie’s plush fleece texture gives projects a soft, velvety feel that works beautifully for baby blankets, cosy sweaters, scarves and cuddly toys. The yarn’s slightly heavier weight means it knits and crochets up quickly, making it a great choice for fast, satisfying projects. Each generous 200g ball offers excellent value and is ideal for larger makes — one ball creates a soft scarf, and just three balls are enough for a snug baby blanket.

The Warm & Toastie branding appears on the ball band, reflecting King Cole’s original name for this range, and its quality remains consistent across all shades. Whether you’re crafting amigurumi, winter accessories or comforting home décor, Toastie brings a rich, tactile finish to every creation.
