King Cole Wool Aran is a classic, versatile aran weight wool yarn, perfect for cosy sweaters, cardigans, tank tops and traditional cable knits.
Warm, breathable and hard-wearing, this is a brilliant everyday yarn for knitters and crocheters who prefer working with natural fibres
. It has the warmth you’d expect from wool while still being lightweight enough to create comfortable garments that can be worn throughout the seasons. Wool Aran is durable and can be washed at 30 (we always recommend the wool programme on your machine)
Why we love it! KC Wool Aran is a practical workhorse wool that really pops with textures and cables. It's a great choice for everyday wear and can be chucked in the machine when needed.
