HOW THICK IS THIS YARN?

Our yarn thickness is measured using the NM count, the industry standard in the textile world. This differs from ply, which is commonly used for hand knitting yarns. To help you visualize the yarn's thickness, we've compared it to everyday items.

This yarn is similar thickness to sewing thread, fine and delicate!

WHAT CAN I MAKE?

Metallic lurex yarn is quite fine so it is best combined with another yarn like our FINE MERCERISED COTTON YARN to add texture and shimmer to tops, dresses, skirts, you name it! 

Works well with…
Any jersey or double bed stitches plyed with other yarns for a more marled organic look and smoother knitting experience! To unlock the full glamour effect, knit with multiple ends and keep to basic stitches like jersey.

  • What's the difference between hand and machine knit yarn?

    Machine knit yarn is coned yarn for even tension and has more strength than hand knit yarn. You can use both interchangeably but the biggest difference would be the stretch and strength machine knitting yarn has.
