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.

Product Technical Details:

  • Premium Utility Acrylic: Designed to be soft against the skin but resilient enough to handle the "rough and tumble" of everyday life.

  • Classic Charcoal Tone: A deep, neutral grey that hides wear-and-tear effectively and pairs seamlessly with every other color in the Robin range.

  • Ultimate Easy-Care: Fully machine washable and tumble-dry safe (cool setting)—a non-negotiable feature for school-wear and high-traffic garments.

  • Exceptional Value: With approximately 300m per 100g ball, it provides the yardage needed for larger-scale family knitting projects.

Pro Tips for Best Results:

  • The "Back to School" Essential: This is the perfect match for standard UK charcoal school uniforms. Stock up for cardigans, jumpers, and winter scarves.

  • The Smart Neutral: Pair School Grey with Silver and White for a sophisticated monochrome gradient, or use it to make Sunrise Yellow or Sunflower truly pop.

  • Standard Gauge: Use 4mm needles or a 4mm crochet hook to achieve a reliable 22 sts / 28 rows tension square for a perfect fit.
