Emu Cotton Double Knit

Not all yarn is equal. If you use Cotton DK yarn then you will probably already know that. If you are looking for a premium quality, super-soft, 100% cotton DK yarn at a fabulous price point then this is the one for you.

At first glance, this is a regular everyday cotton 100g DK ball of yarn. But once you have felt the wonderful soft touch, smooth working feel and impeccable stitch definition of Emu Cotton DK you will quickly realise the only thing ‘everyday’ about it is the exceptional price point. It’s just about the perfect choice of cotton DK yarn, knitting to a regular DK tension it is the ideal choice for almost any project.

Reassuringly, the yarn experts at Emu spent more than a year finding the perfect soft-cotton to create Emu Cotton DK, and the 5-star customer rating it has acquired in a very short space of time suggests it was well worth the wait! This yarn is so soft that it has also been awarded with Emu-Soft Certification, the guarantee of genuine yarn softness.

It is probably no shock that with its generous 100g balls, hand-selected colour palette of classic pastels gently complemented by bolds and brights, Emu Cotton DK is our best-selling cotton yarn - outselling its nearest rivals by more than double!

After look and feel, the question we are asked most often about our yarns by knitters and crocheters is ‘can I put it in the washing machine at a decent temperature?’ In fact, this is almost always the first question when it comes to yarn versatility. Well, Emu Cotton DK is as versatile as any 100% pure cotton yarn can possibly get - it is fully machine washable at 40 degrees and it can be ironed at a low temperature. That means you can wear your Emu Cotton DK garments and accessories again and again, and never worry about it!

From children’s hats to baby bonnets, soft-blankets and throws to classy boleros, cardigans, jumpers, and home accessories - Emu Cotton DK is the softest most universal cotton DK yarn that you will find!
