100g. 94% Acrylic, 6% Metallic. Chunky.
James C Brett Flutterby Sparkle Chunky is a reliable, easy-care synthetic yarn with a 6% metallic thread running through it, adding a consistent glint without any of the stiffness you sometimes get with heavily embellished yarns. At 94% acrylic, it washes well and stands up to repeated use — practical qualities that matter for the kinds of projects it suits best.
On 6mm needles this yarn works up quickly and the metallic thread behaves itself, lying flat rather than snagging mid-row. The chunky weight means it fills out stitch patterns well, and it knits up without splitting even when working at pace. Cables are readable but the sparkle thread means the yarn shows off best in simpler, more open textures.
It’s well suited to chunky scarves, cosy cowls, and simple hats where the shimmer can catch the light. Knitted Christmas stockings, decorative cushion covers, and children’s party cardigans are all good matches for the festive feel of the metallic finish.
The palette leans into the sparkle, offering both classic neutrals and bolder shades that let the metallic thread do its work. Seasonal and occasion-led colourways appear regularly in the range.
