✨ A truly unique yarn with playful texture and sparkle, SUNFLOWER from RiGo, Italy, is a blend of 75% Cotton, 15% Metallic (LUREX), and 10% Polyamide. The cotton strand is delicately wrapped with a fine lurex thread, creating irregular sections where contrasting cocoons (small textured knots) alternate with shimmering lurex cocoons at 8–10 inch intervals. The yarn is soft to the touch, lightweight, and versatile. It works beautifully on its own but truly shines when combined with other yarns—adding depth, texture, and eye-catching contrast to your knitting or crochet projects.

🧶 Recommended Weaving:
This yarn performs beautifully in weaving due to its cotton base and decorative lurex flame texture.
• Best used as weft to showcase the cocoon and shimmer effects
• Can be used as warp when tension is moderate and heddles/reeds are smooth

📍 FOR FULL-CONE SALES, THERE IS NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE FOR THE CONE. Yarn will remain on its original cone.
📍 FOR YARN THAT IS NOT SOLD AS A FULL CONE BUT IN VARIOUS WOUND WEIGHTS, ALL YARN WILL BE WOUND INTO BALLS BY DEFAULT. CONES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE YARN PRICE. However, we can wind it onto cones upon request. PLEACE BUY CONES HERE
Unlike other shops where cone costs are often built into the yarn price—regardless of the format—our pricing is transparent. You pay only for the yarn itself. If you’d like your order wound on a cone, it can be purchased separately. This small additional charge also helps cover packaging differences and the actual cost of the cone. No hidden fees, no inflated markups—just honest, straightforward pricing.
📍 Please Note
📍 Please Note
- Please keep in mind: cone yarns, especially those made with extra fine merino or cashmere, may include a protective coating used for industrial knitting. A few gentle washes will allow the yarn to bloom, soften, and reveal its natural texture.
- Colors are photographed in natural light but may appear slightly different depending on your screen.
- FOR YARN THAT IS CUSTOM-WOUND, ±1–2g variation per 100g may occur due to winding.
- Each ball/cone is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
