Lana Gatto PAILLETTES (100% polyester)

Subtle sparkle for knitting and crochet

Lana Gatto PAILLETTES is a fine decorative yarn with small shimmering sequins that add subtle sparkle to knitted and crocheted pieces. The lightweight yarn does not weigh the fabric down, while the sequins catch the light and accentuate the stitch pattern.

How to use PAILLETTES

The yarn can be used on its own as a fine shimmering layer or held together with the main yarn. It pairs well with Lana Gatto SILK MOHAIR, other mohair and silk blends, merino wool, alpaca, linen and synthetic yarns.

• sweaters, cardigans and boleros;
• shawls, wraps, scarves and hats;
• dresses and festive knitwear;
• cuffs, collars and garment edges;
• lace, openwork patterns, cables and decorative bands.

Yarn features

The sequins are attached to a fine base, so they stay in place and do not weigh the fabric down while knitting. The yarn remains light and pleasant to the touch, while the evenly distributed sequins accent both smooth and textured stitch patterns.

PAILLETTES is most often used as an accent yarn, so one ball is frequently enough for a decorative layer or selected details. Its light sparkle suits projects across the seasons, from summer accessories to festive winter knitwear. The yarn does not shed and helps the finished piece keep a neat appearance for longer.
