Make a bold and classic statement with the timeless, vibrant energy of Robin DK "Red."

Robin DK Red (Shade 042) is a true, iconic primary red—deeply saturated and full of warmth. This is the definitive "cherry" red that makers reach for when they need a color that is both traditional and striking. Crafted from 100% premium acrylic, it delivers a rich pigment that stays bright, combined with the soft, reliable handle that has made Robin a household name.

This yarn is a versatile powerhouse. Its smooth, consistent twist provides excellent stitch definition, ensuring that everything from simple stripes to complex cables looks professional and crisp. Whether you are knitting a classic winter jumper, crafting festive holiday décor, or adding a pop of color to a nursery set, Robin Red is a non-negotiable staple for your yarn collection.

Product Technical Details:

  • Premium High-Intensity Acrylic: Specifically dyed to ensure a deep, even color that resists fading, even with frequent use and washing.

  • Ultimate Practicality: Fully machine washable and tumble-dry safe (cool setting)—the perfect choice for busy households and children’s toys.

  • The Perfect Festive Shade: The "go-to" red for Christmas stockings, Santa hats, and poppies, as well as classic primary-colored children’s wear.

  • Great Value Yardage: With approximately 300m per 100g ball, it offers incredible value for larger projects like family throws and sweaters.

  • The Nautical Palette: Pair Red with White and Royal Blue for a crisp, timeless maritime look that is perfect for summer cardigans.

  • Modern Monochrome: For a high-fashion look, try striped patterns combining Red with School Grey and Black.
