100g. 65% Polyester, 35% Acrylic. Aran.
Firefly Aran takes its cue from the iridescence of beetles, dragonflies and other winged insects. Its 8 jewel-tone shades all colour-shift in the light, with a fine halo of shimmer running through every stitch. The result is a yarn that catches the eye without crossing into novelty — a sophisticated, light-catching base for garments and accessories.
The 65% polyester / 35% acrylic blend gives Firefly Aran a soft halo and gentle drape that lace, scallop and textured stitch patterns wear beautifully. The Aran weight builds quickly on 5mm needles but the yarn stays light in the hand — suiting both warm-but-not-heavy garments and richly textured accessories.
Designer Sarah Glover’s pattern collection for Firefly Aran centres on lace, scallop and texture work where the shimmer and depth show best. Cardigans, scarves, shawls and evening wraps all play to the yarn’s strengths.
8 jewel-tone shades, each with colour-shifting movement and an ethereal sheen — designed to coordinate within the range as well as stand alone.
