King Cole Giza Cotton DK is a DK-weight, plied, 100% Giza Mercerized Cotton yarn with approximately 272 yards per 100 gram skein. Egyptian cotton is the finest in the world, and this 100% mercerized cotton is lustrous, strong, and soft. This DK-weight yarn is great for baby projects, blankets, and summer garments. The strength and sheen of mercerized cotton cannot be beat, and the palette of neutrals, pastels, and bold accent colors make this a great workhorse cotton.
