Recommended gauge: 22–26 sts = 10 cm / 4" on 3.5–4.5 mm (US 4–7) needles.

🧵 Why Knitters Love This Yarn:
• Soft and luxurious—rated 9 out of 10 for softness
• Understated glamour with just the right amount of sparkle
• Lightweight with refined body—ideal for elegant garments
• Silky and strong—perfect for layering pieces that last

🧶 Working with Multiple Strands:
Use a single strand for soft, lightweight garments.
Double strands for cozy yet polished fabric.
Blends beautifully with mohair, silk, or superfine wool to enhance depth and texture.

💡 Project Ideas:
Ideal for evening tops, festive cardigans, cowls, shimmering scarves, and draped layering pieces with subtle glamour.

🧪 Blending Possibilities:
• Hold with laceweight mohair or brushed alpaca for added halo
• Blend with superfine merino for bounce and structure
• Use alone for shimmer and softness with a clean finish

🧷 Tips for Working with This Yarn:
• ✂️ Swatch first! Sparkle yarns like this behave differently with gauge—looser stitches create more drape and shimmer.
• 🧵 Use as a carry-along yarn to add subtle sparkle to other bases.
• 💫 Stockinette stitch showcases the paillettes best, while garter or lace adds lovely contrast.
• 🎨 Combine with matte yarns to make the shine pop—or add lace mohair for a halo effect.
• 👗 Great for collars, cuffs, and trims to elevate simpler yarns.
• 🧼 After gentle blocking, the fabric becomes more refined and drapey.

📌 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry out of direct sunlight

🧶 Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)

📍 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 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.

📦 Shipping & Order Processing

Orders are prepared in the order received and typically ship within 3–5 business days. Custom requests such as cone winding may require additional time. Multiple orders placed before shipment may be combined. Shipping refunds are not issued for combined orders.

We ship worldwide with tracking provided. As customs policies and tariffs can change frequently, any duties, taxes, or import fees are the sole responsibility of the buyer. These charges are not collected by us at the time of purchase but are typically paid to your local postal service or customs office upon the arrival of your package.
