Luxe Cotton Acrylic Yarn 100g 8ply - Ruby

Deep, rich and unmistakably red, Porta Craft Luxe Cotton Blend Yarn in Ruby brings a stronger red option to the Luxe Cotton Acrylic range. Made from 60% cotton and 40% acrylic, this 8ply / DK yarn offers approximately 220 metres per 100g ball for knitting and crochet projects of all kinds.

Ruby has more depth than a bright traditional red, making it particularly effective for winter accessories, statement garments and rich colour combinations. Pair it with Ivory or White for contrast, Navy for a classic palette, or Coral and Princess Pink for a layered red and pink colour scheme.

The cotton acrylic blend provides a useful balance for everyday projects. Cotton contributes a comfortable, lightweight quality, while acrylic brings practicality and durability. Together they create an adaptable yarn that can be used for garments, accessories, blankets and decorative crochet.

With approximately 220 metres in each 100g ball, Ruby is suitable for jumpers, cardigans, scarves, hats, blankets, baby projects and crochet garments. The recommended knitting needle size is 4.5mm, although the correct size will depend on your pattern and desired tension.

Use Ruby as a dominant colour for a bold finished piece, or in smaller quantities to create strong borders, stripes and colourwork details.
