King Cole Riot DK

Riot is a gorgeously soft self-striping yarn with 30% wool in a lovely grown-up range of colourways. It can be knitted to any standard DK pattern but also has some modern patterns devoted to it. The colour repeats are long making it ideal for a funky log-cabin style blanket, or even a modern twist on Elizabeth Zimmerman's famous Baby Surprise Jacket! Soft to the touch, machine washable, and only £4.60 for 100g, what's not to like?

Postage

Further price increases from Royal Mail mean that we have been forced to increase our rates again. UK First Class is now £3.45 for the first 50g and 20p for each additional 50g, or £2.95 for second class plus 20p for each additional 50g. Royal Mail now charges different rates depending on the size of the parcel as well as the weight. This makes predicting the cost of sending an order very difficult so in some cases we may have to refund overpayments. Please feel free to contact us before you order.
