Don't Feed the Trolls - Exquisite DK Yarn

About the colourway: Sometimes, the internet isn't a very kind place. This colourway was inspired after our small business became the target of online abuse during one of the biggest moments in our journey. While a handful of people chose negativity, something far more powerful happened - our wonderful knitting and crochet community chose kindness, encouragement and support. Rather than dwell on the trolls, we decided to turn the experience into something beautiful and reach for the dye pots.

Don't Feed the Trolls combines black, silver grey and moss green together with bright green and flashes of vibrant pink - a reminder that creativity, kindness and hope can always shine through the darkness.

A minimum of £5 from every skein of Don't Feed the Trolls sold will be donated to Hadleigh Mental Health and Wellbeing Hub, helping to turn online negativity into positive support for people who need it most. There is no place in our community for keyboard warriors, opinion overload or those who love to hide under digital bridges. This colourway is dedicated to everyone who chose kindness instead.

Thank you for helping us prove that kindness will always be louder than cruelty.

About the yarn base: Our Exquisite DK is all about indulgent softness and effortless luxury. Made from a beautiful blend of 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Grade A Mulberry Silk and 10% Cashmere, it feels incredibly soft against the skin while offering gentle warmth and a delicate drape.

The addition of silk gives a subtle sheen, while the alpaca and cashmere create a light, airy halo that adds depth and softness to every stitch. It’s a non-superwash yarn that feels as good as it looks, perfect for projects you’ll want to wear again and again.

Whether you’re knitting garments, accessories or something a little special, Exquisite DK brings together comfort, elegance and a truly luxurious finish.
