Stylecraft Special DK is the most popular 100% acrylic double knit yarn on the market, and with over 80 fantastic colours to choose from at a cracking price, its not difficult to see why! Compared to other 100% acrylic DK yarns, Stylecraft Special DK is quite a bit softer, and less scratchy, and we sell bucket loads of the stuff to knitters and crocheters alike! As you'd expect, Stylecraft Special DK knits to a standard double knit tension, ideally on 4mm needles, and is machine washable.

We've put together a special Attic24 Colour Pack, which contains 17 of the most popular colours of Stylecraft Special DK, as used by Lucy on her famous Attic24 blog to make her wonderful Granny Stripe Blanket.

We stock every colour of Special DK that Stylecraft produce, so the chances are if we don't have it, its because Stylecraft don't make it any more! If you can't find the exact combination of colours you're looking for, then you could consider mixing it with colours from the Sirdar Bonus DK range. The two yarns are very, very similar, and we've successfully mixed the two ranges on numerous occasions.

If you're looking for something slightly different that won't break the bank, then it may be worth considering some of the other products in the Stylecraft Special range:

• Special 4 Ply
• Special DK
• Special Aran
• Special Aran with Wool
• Special Chunky
