A synthetic blend with a gentle built-in shimmer, this yarn combines soft acrylic, polyamide, and a touch of polyester to produce a lightweight DK with a subtle twinkle throughout. The self-striping colour sequence does the decorative work automatically, making it a reliable and easy-care choice for small, quick projects.
It knits up smoothly on 4mm needles without splitting, which is a genuine advantage when working fiddly shaping on tiny garment pieces. The twist is consistent enough to hold stitch definition clearly, though the sparkle effect shows best in stocking stitch rather than textured patterns.
Ideally suited to baby bonnets and booties, simple baby cardigans, and all-in-one sleep suits where the self-striping removes the need for colour changes. The generous 300m ball means a pair of bootees or a small bonnet uses very little of it.
Available in a selection of soft, pastel-toned self-striping prints with the characteristic shimmer running through each colourway.
