Oxford Biocolours DK

A versatile, mid-weight DK yarn that offers excellent stitch definition and an easy, reliable knit.

If you believe great yarn can be kind to the planet and bold on the needle (and hook!), you’re in the right place.

Smooth and resistant to splitting, it’s especially well-suited for beginners, while still delivering a satisfying experience for more seasoned makers.

Soft enough for everyday wear, it’s a true workhorse yarn you’ll reach for again and again.

Synthetic dyes are made from fossil fuels. They work well, but they come with a big environmental cost — using harsh chemicals, lots of water, and leaving waste behind. Oxford biocolours brings lab-developed, plant-based dyes together with British wool and skilled dyeing partners to create yarn that’s bold, reliable, and genuinely better for the planet. They are here to prove that sustainable colour doesn’t have to be dull — and that great yarn can be kind, clever, and a little bit rebellious.

Hand wash in cool water (a little wool detergent is fine), gently reshape whilst damp, and lay flat to dry. Do not iron.
