{"product_id":"drops-glitter","title":"Drops Glitter: Metallised carry-along yarn with sparkle (700 m)","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Drops Glitter and why does it stand out?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"big\"\u003eIt is an extra-fine metallic thread, made from 60% cupro and 40% metal, designed as a carry-along yarn: it is worked together with another yarn to add a real metallic sparkle to the finished garment. With just 10 g, each spool gives you around 700 metres, so it goes a very long way despite being so fine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart is its nature: it is not a wool or a yarn to be worked on its own, but an effect thread that is added to your main yarn. The presence of cupro, a plant-based fibre with a silky feel, gives it a more natural and less plastic-looking shine than many fancy threads. Essentially, it is a fancy yarn designed to dress up any project, and it is also known as a shiny carry-along yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is this effect yarn used for and how can you combine it?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is used to add sparkle to garments and accessories for special occasions: party jumpers, Christmas hats and scarves, shawls or small details. It is used as a third strand, holding it together with your usual wool or cotton and working both yarns together with the needle or hook for the main yarn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt works just as well for knitting and crochet, and is especially useful when you want a festive finish without starting a new project. Many knitters look for it as lurex yarn, although technically Glitter does not contain lurex, but cupro and metal: the visual effect is similar, but the fibre is different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Adult party jumpers and cardigans, with a discreet and elegant sparkle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Hats, scarves and cowls with a metallic touch for Christmas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Shawls, tops and occasion garments where you want to stand out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Details, edgings and finishes in knitting and crochet projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits of this shiny metallic yarn\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe main benefit of Drops Glitter is its versatility: a single strand transforms an everyday project into an occasion piece without making you start from scratch. Added to this are its high yield, elegant metallic sparkle thanks to the cupro and a very affordable price per spool, making it an accessible decorative detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Very versatile: combines with almost any main yarn, whether wool, cotton or acrylic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Goes a long way: with 700 m per spool, one or two are enough for an adult jumper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Real metallic sparkle, more elegant than many synthetic threads, thanks to the cupro.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Fine and lightweight: it adds hardly any weight or thickness to your project.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e▷ Three striking colours — gold, silver and red — designed for occasion garments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow should you care for garments made with this metallised yarn?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGarments that include this metallic thread should be hand washed in lukewarm water, at a maximum of 30 °C, and dried flat so they do not lose their shape. It is best to avoid the washing machine, strong spinning and direct ironing over the sparkling areas, as this could damage the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs this thread is worked together with your main yarn, always follow the more delicate washing instructions of the two fibres. Gentle washing and careful drying will keep the sparkle intact for a long time and help the garment stay looking as good as new.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy buy Drops Glitter from Garmon Yarns?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe are one of the few shops specialising in effect and fancy yarns like this.
