This review is for rocket which is red with a purple/blue accent but I now have several colours in this yarn and love them all. There are so many to choose from. Even when I’m knitting with it I feel festive but they are also wonderful for Halloween, soft toys and household items. They are easy to knit with assuming you are paying attention to what you are doing, and being chunky they knit up quite quickly. I am making a paper chain type Christmas garland using this and the Argent colour, which is also beautiful. I was suprised that they don’t shed, which is certainly an advantage over real tinsel. Please note that the yarns are hand wash only. Review: Beautiful - This craft wool is brilliant. I love working with it. I've been using the tinsel for years. I always wash very gently by hand and put it into a folded towel to press down and squeeze the water out gently. Then I give it a genital shake and dry it draped over the outside line or indoors. But it has a little trick if you shake it gently as its drying out it goes back into its fluffy state. Over the coldest of winters people have asked could I knit a scarf for them. One year a ball of fancy pants wool came in and was double knit so I knit with the two strands at the same time it was the softest most beautiful sparkle warm scarf I've ever knit. Don't be afraid to knit up using size 10s they are fabulously soft. Also my friend makes the Santa's and his friends. And uses two different colours of tinsel together, knits up very fluffy indeed. I've never had a bad ball or fault or complaint. I would say to anyone to give it a go I know you won't be disappointed. ## Features - This Tinsel yarn by King Cole is part of their Chunky range and is available in a selection of festive shades. - This knitting wool is available in 50g balls and the length is approximately 70 metres/76.5 yards. - It is recommended that you use 6mm needles (UK 4 / US 10) for a tension square of 20 rows x 14sts for a 10cm x 10cm (4" x 4"). - The yarn should be hand washed at 30c, do not tumble dry or iron. - This knitting yarn is made from 75% polyester and 25% lurex and is available in White (Shade 204), Silver (Shade 206), Gold (Shade 208), Claret (Shade 215) and Purple (Shade 218).

Its very soft and lovely to use. **Q: Is this any good for knitting a little chunky cardigan for my granddaughter** A: It isn’t very thick - I used mine for tinsel - and maybe a bit “scratchy”. **Q: Would this be suitable to knit a shawl for a bride** A: Yes, it knits/crochets very well and is soft to the touch, not at all itchy or scratchy, apart from the orange which feels a bit “plastic” . I’ve used it a lot, mostly smaller items though. It can be difficult to pull back (frog) if you make a mistake , but mistakes don’t show through the furry texture. The surface of the finished article can be smoothed to lie flat or given a gentle shake will fluff up. Hope this is helpful. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful colours *by D***N on 27 October 2025* These King Cole tinsel yarns are so festive and look stunning.
