Make a bold, classic statement with the stunning intensity of Robin DK "Royal Blue."

Robin DK Royal (Shade 086) is a quintessential primary blue—deep, saturated, and full of life. This is the definitive "Royal Blue" that makers reach for when they need a color that demands attention without losing its classic appeal. Spun from 100% premium acrylic, it offers a rich, light-catching pigment combined with the dependable softness that the Robin brand is celebrated for.

This yarn is a true multi-purpose hero. It features a smooth twist that provides crisp stitch definition, making it ideal for everything from bold stripes and Fair Isle patterns to textured cables. Whether you are knitting a traditional school cardigan, a vibrant sports-themed blanket, or cozy winter accessories, Royal Blue provides a professional, high-impact finish.

Product Technical Details:

  • Premium High-Clarity Acrylic: Specifically dyed to maintain its deep, royal intensity through years of wear and washing.

  • Tough & Practical: Fully machine washable and tumble-dry safe (cool setting), making it the perfect choice for children’s clothes and everyday items.

  • Vibrant Primary Tone: A standout shade that works perfectly for school-wear, flags, and character-themed toys.

  • Generous 100g Ball: With approximately 300m per ball, it provides excellent value for larger projects like sweaters and throws.

Pro Tips for Best Results:

  • The "Power" Palette: Pair Royal Blue with Sunrise Yellow and White for a bright, primary-colored nursery set, or with School Grey for a sophisticated collegiate look.

  • Perfect for Amigurumi: This is the "go-to" shade for superhero costumes, police-themed toys, and bright blue birds.
