Sparkle

Yarns containing sparkle fibres, such as Lurex and Stellina.

Lurex is a more robust fiber that doesn't require special treatment when dyeing. However, it has more texture than Stellina.

Stellina is a soft fiber that most people can't feel when it's in a blend with other fibers. However, it can be damaged or dulled during the dyeing process if too much acid is used. We have found that using less acid and a longer fixing time helps. Vinegar tends to cause less damage as it’s a weaker acid.

Our yarns are generally sold by the kilo. Skeins are packaged as 10 x 100g to equal a kilo. To explore yarns available in different size skeins, please use the "Yarns by presentation" category.
