This elegant textured yarn combines soft warmth, mohair halo, light puffiness, bright but refined sparkle, and beautiful Italian fashion character, making it perfect for sweaters, cardigans, scarves, evening tops, festive knitwear, crochet, and stylish statement pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"646\" data-end=\"994\"\u003eThis is not a heavy or flashy sequin yarn. NELSON already has everything needed to create a beautiful fabric: soft wool structure, airy mohair halo, elegant lurex shine, and bright 2mm paillettes that catch the light beautifully. It is easy to knit, very pleasant to work with, and creates a stylish, puffy, textured fabric even in simple stitches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1380\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"996\" data-end=\"1024\"\u003e▣ Product Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1024\" data-end=\"1027\"\u003e• Manufacturer: Industria Italiana Filati, Italy\u003cbr data-start=\"1075\" data-end=\"1078\"\u003e• Article: NELSON\u003cbr data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1098\"\u003e• Fiber Content: Wool 48%, Polyamide 24%, Polyester (Lurex, Paillettes) 16%, Mohair 12%\u003cbr data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1188\"\u003e• Yarn Category: DK Weight\u003cbr data-start=\"1214\" data-end=\"1217\"\u003e• Yarn Count: Nm 2.3\u003cbr data-start=\"1237\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003e• Yardage: approx. 230 m \/ 251 yd per 100 g (3.52 oz)\u003cbr data-start=\"1293\" data-end=\"1296\"\u003e• Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)\u003cbr data-start=\"1352\" data-end=\"1355\"\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1624\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1382\" data-end=\"1402\"\u003e⌁ Texture \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003e• Soft wool-based texture\u003cbr data-start=\"1430\" data-end=\"1433\"\u003e• Light mohair halo\u003cbr data-start=\"1452\" data-end=\"1455\"\u003e• Puffy and dimensional structure\u003cbr data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003e• Elegant lurex shimmer\u003cbr data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1517\"\u003e• Bright but refined 2mm paillettes\u003cbr data-start=\"1552\" data-end=\"1555\"\u003e• Warm but not overly heavy\u003cbr data-start=\"1582\" data-end=\"1585\"\u003e• Stylish, textured, and easy to knit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1907\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1626\" data-end=\"1656\"\u003e⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1656\" data-end=\"1659\"\u003eNELSON combines warmth, texture, halo, and sparkle in a refined Italian fashion-yarn construction. The wool creates comfort and body, while the mohair adds softness, atmosphere, and a beautiful fuzzy halo that opens especially nicely after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1909\" data-end=\"2118\"\u003eThe lurex is elegant, not cheap-looking, and the 2mm paillettes are bright, visible, and very beautiful in the knitted fabric. They add just enough light and glamour without making the yarn look overly flashy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2120\" data-end=\"2390\"\u003eThis yarn is especially attractive for makers who want a special statement yarn that still feels wearable. It can turn a simple sweater, cardigan, scarf, or evening top into something polished, festive, and designer-looking without requiring complicated stitch patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2685\"\u003eI would highly recommend watching the video and zooming in closely on the photos to fully appreciate the texture, mohair halo, lurex shine, and beautiful 2mm paillettes in this yarn. The character of NELSON is much more impressive in movement and close-up detail than in standard photos alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2392\" data-end=\"2685\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eNELSON is also an excellent choice for knitters inspired by Brunello Cucinelli-style knitwear and modern Italian luxury fashion. The combination of soft wool, mohair halo, elegant lurex, and refined paillettes creates exactly the kind of understated textured glamour often seen in high-end Italian designer sweaters, layering pieces, scarves, and relaxed luxury silhouettes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2687\" data-end=\"3031\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2687\" data-end=\"2706\"\u003e✧ Fiber Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2706\" data-end=\"2709\"\u003e• Wool — warmth, softness, and breathable comfort\u003cbr data-start=\"2758\" data-end=\"2761\"\u003e• Mohair — soft halo, lightness, and atmospheric texture\u003cbr data-start=\"2817\" data-end=\"2820\"\u003e• Polyamide — flexibility, durability, and structure\u003cbr data-start=\"2872\" data-end=\"2875\"\u003e• Polyester \/ Lurex \/ Paillettes — elegant shimmer and decorative sparkle\u003cbr data-start=\"2948\" data-end=\"2951\"\u003e• Combined Blend — warm textured fabric with refined Italian fashion character\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3033\" data-end=\"3370\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3033\" data-end=\"3061\"\u003e➤ IMPORTANT — Yarn Usage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"3061\" data-end=\"3064\"\u003eI knitted my sample in one strand using US size 4 needles, and the yarn was very easy and pleasant to knit. Because of the puffy texture and the structure of the thread, it is also a very nice yarn for beginners — if the stitches are not perfectly even, the yarn helps hide small imperfections beautifully.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3372\" data-end=\"3671\"\u003eAfter washing, the yarn opened very nicely and developed a lovely mohair halo. The fabric became softer, fuller, and more dimensional. I would rate the softness around 8.5 out of 10. It is not itchy to me, but because this yarn contains wool and mohair, very sensitive skin should keep that in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3673\" data-end=\"3970\"\u003eThis yarn works beautifully in one strand. I personally would not add anything else because the yarn already has texture, halo, sparkle, softness, and character. If you want to create a more complex fabric, you can combine it with another yarn, but it is already complete and beautiful on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"3972\" data-end=\"4211\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"3972\" data-end=\"4000\"\u003e⋔ Recommended Yarn Usage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4000\" data-end=\"4003\"\u003e• Sweaters and cardigans\u003cbr data-start=\"4027\" data-end=\"4030\"\u003e• Evening tops and layering pieces\u003cbr data-start=\"4064\" data-end=\"4067\"\u003e• Scarves, cowls, and wraps\u003cbr data-start=\"4094\" data-end=\"4097\"\u003e• Fashion crochet garments\u003cbr data-start=\"4123\" data-end=\"4126\"\u003e• Holiday accessories\u003cbr data-start=\"4147\" data-end=\"4150\"\u003e• Statement knitwear\u003cbr data-start=\"4170\" data-end=\"4173\"\u003e• Couture-inspired textured garments\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4213\" data-end=\"4522\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4213\" data-end=\"4252\"\u003e➤ Recommended Pairings From iDOKNiT\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4252\" data-end=\"4255\"\u003e• Smooth merino — adds softness and clean structure\u003cbr data-start=\"4306\" data-end=\"4309\"\u003e• Mohair on silk — increases halo and softness\u003cbr data-start=\"4355\" data-end=\"4358\"\u003e• Silk yarns — enhance drape and elegance\u003cbr data-start=\"4399\" data-end=\"4402\"\u003e• Plain wool yarns — balance the sparkle and texture\u003cbr data-start=\"4454\" data-end=\"4457\"\u003e• Fine sequins yarns — create stronger couture-inspired effects\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"4524\" data-end=\"4836\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"4524\" data-end=\"4557\"\u003e✦ Recommended Needles \/ Hooks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"4557\" data-end=\"4560\"\u003e• Knitting needles: approx.
