Tropical holidays: sandy beaches, gazing out across blue lagoons to the white surf, and those perfect sunny azure skies. Eleonora Tully has taken the feel of exotic holidays as inspiration for her ‘Tropical Shores’ blanket from a past idyllic holiday on the beautiful island of Moorea in French Polynesia.

Utilising the Big Value DK 50g range with colours such as Emerald, Lime, Turquoise, Jade and Mustard to emulate the tropical colours of Eleonora’s holiday photos from that tranquil setting, she’s created the picture-perfect blanket for a staycation beach trip.

King Cole ran this CAL over the summer of 2022 and now you can create a little piece of a tropical summer for yourself.

This Tropical Shores pack contains 27 balls of King Cole Big Value DK (50g) in the following shades:

• 5 x White (4020)
