Luxe Cotton Acrylic Yarn 100g 8ply - Orchid

Porta Craft Luxe Cotton Blend Yarn in Orchid adds a more distinctive purple-pink tone to the Luxe range while retaining the practical qualities of a 60% cotton and 40% acrylic 8ply yarn. The result is a versatile DK yarn for knitting, crochet, garments, accessories and colourful home projects.

Orchid is a useful choice when you want more depth and personality than a pale pastel. It can be combined with Lilac and Princess Pink for a softer tonal palette, or contrasted against Ivory, White, Navy and Ocean to make the colour stand out.

The cotton acrylic construction makes this yarn particularly adaptable. Cotton contributes a comfortable, lightweight feel, while acrylic adds durability and practicality for projects that will be worn or used regularly. This makes it a useful alternative when you want some of the character of cotton without choosing a 100% cotton yarn.

Each 100g ball contains approximately 220 metres, giving you a generous amount of yarn for an 8ply / DK weight. Orchid can be used for cardigans, jumpers, scarves, blankets, baby projects and crochet garments, with smaller amounts useful for colourwork and decorative details.

For a coordinated colour scheme, combine Orchid with lighter purple and pink shades, or use it as an accent against neutral colours for a more modern finish.
