Robin DK School Grey (Shade 028) is a deep, balanced charcoal that serves as a cornerstone for any practical knitting project. True to its name, this is the industry-standard grey for school jumpers and cardigans, but its appeal goes far beyond the classroom. Crafted from 100% premium acrylic, it offers a smart, professional matte finish that is exceptionally soft to the touch while being rugged enough for daily wear.
This shade provides incredible stitch definition, making it the perfect canvas for classic cables, ribs, and Gansey-style textures. Whether you are knitting durable children’s wear, a sophisticated men’s sweater, or using it as a grounding neutral for a vibrant "scrap-yarn" blanket, School Grey delivers quality you can trust.
