Cotton Dazzle – Performance: a cotton and viscose blend with a subtle natural sheen

Cotton Dazzle is the perfect choice for those who want to knit fresh, comfortable garments with a more sophisticated finish. Made by Bulgarian brand Performance Yarns, this yarn combines 75% combed cotton with 25% viscose, offering softness, freshness and a very subtle satin-like sheen that enhances any fabric.

Thanks to this blend, the yarn has a more fluid drape than pure cotton, better stitch definition and a more elegant final look, without being flashy or artificial. It’s ideal for feminine garments, children’s clothing, shawls, blouses, summer tops and decorative touches with a refined finish.

Available in harmonious, slightly pearlescent shades, Cotton Dazzle is an excellent choice to take your knitting one step further without resorting to synthetic fibres or winter wools.

Soft texture, fresh feel and simple elegance for summer with Cotton Dazzle by Performance

The addition of viscose in Cotton Dazzle not only enhances the softness, but also adds more drape, less stiffness and a more flowing behaviour in garments with movement. The cotton base ensures breathability and comfort even on hot days, while the viscose gives it that subtle shine that sets it apart.

This yarn is ideal if you’re looking for a result that is:

  • ▷ Lightweight and breathable
  • ▷ Soft and pleasant against the skin
  • ▷ Elegant without being excessive
  • ▷ In modern colours with a refined visual finish

It’s also easy to work with using knitting needles or crochet hooks, and performs beautifully in lace stitches, open textures, waves and patterns that highlight movement.

Why choose Cotton Dazzle over classic cotton?

While 100% cotton offers durability and firmness, Cotton Dazzle provides extra softness, movement and visual elegance. Its blend with viscose makes a difference in:

  • Wearing comfort: lighter and cooler
  • Visual finish: moderate sheen without looking synthetic
  • More fluid and flexible fabric
  • Ideal for draped or openwork garments

It’s the perfect alternative if you want to move away from matte cotton without going for a synthetic or metallic yarn. The result is subtle, sophisticated and ideal for spring-summer.
