Luxe Cotton Acrylic Yarn 100g 8ply - Overcast

For a softer neutral with plenty of versatility, choose Porta Craft Luxe Cotton Blend Yarn in Overcast. This 8ply cotton acrylic yarn combines 60% cotton with 40% acrylic and offers approximately 220 metres per 100g ball, making it a practical option for everyday knitting, crochet and home projects.

Overcast provides a muted grey-inspired neutral that can be used as a main colour or paired with brighter shades. It works particularly well alongside White and Ivory for understated projects, while Coral, Mailbox Red, Lilac and Ocean can be introduced when you want stronger contrast.

The blend of cotton and acrylic makes Luxe Cotton Acrylic Yarn suitable for a broad range of projects. Cotton contributes a comfortable, lightweight feel, while acrylic helps provide practicality and durability. This combination makes the yarn useful for garments and accessories that need to balance comfort with everyday wearability.

The 100g ball provides approximately 220 metres of DK / 8ply yarn, suitable for jumpers, cardigans, scarves, hats, babywear, blankets and crochet. Use the recommended 4.5mm knitting needle as a starting point, then adjust according to your pattern and gauge swatch.

Because Overcast is a restrained neutral, it is especially useful for larger projects where you want the stitch texture or construction to remain the focus rather than a strong colour.
