SEQUINS is a luxury Italian micro-paillettes yarn designed to add refined sparkle, elegant movement, and sophisticated shine to knitwear, crochet, weaving, and fashion accessories. Unlike bulky sequin yarns, this lightweight corded yarn features tiny multicolor micro-paillettes that create a soft, luminous glow while preserving drape, flexibility, and comfort.

This is the type of yarn often used to create the subtle luxury sparkle associated with modern Italian knitwear and Cucinelli-inspired fashion. Beautiful on its own and exceptional as a companion yarn, SEQUINS instantly elevates merino, alpaca, mohair, silk, cashmere, cotton, and linen projects without overwhelming the fabric.

• modern fashion appeal

It is particularly well suited for knitters who love understated luxury rather than heavy embellishment.

The effect is often associated with:
• modern Italian knitwear
• luxury boutique garments
• Cucinelli-inspired styling
• contemporary layering pieces
• elevated everyday fashion
