Description
These metallic yarns are perfect for holding with another yarn to give your projects an extra bit of glitz for hand or machine knitters and adding some shine to handwoven items as well. Try holding one strand with your regular working yarn on your next project!
For Spinners- The metallic yarn would be perfect for adding as a ply in handspun yarns to add an effect without having to deal with spinning Angelina or Mylar fibers into your yarn. We recommend sampling with the metallic yarn and your single plies first to make sure your twist and shrink rate of your fiber accommodates the metallic yarn (without it ‘popping’ out of the finished yarn). We find using it as a core and twisting the plies with it works best.

I included the copper-colored yarn in a weaving project, along with a rust colored Tencel yarn. The Metallic Diva added just the right amount of pop for this scarf.

I love this yarn! I have been using it along with a worsted weight yarn to give a blanket some sparkle. It’s perfect. I tried to upload a couple pictures but it says the file
Is too large. It’s really the perfect amount of sparkle and blends nicely with the stitch because of the ply.
