Rico Design Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly DK: Sparkly Cotton Yarn for Amigurumi, 25g

What is Rico Design Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly DK and what makes it special?

It is a DK cotton yarn with a fine polyester strand running through it to add a subtle metallic sparkle to every stitch, something that plain cotton amigurumi yarns do not have. The strand runs evenly throughout the ball, so the sparkle is not concentrated in one area and does not affect how the yarn is worked.

It is worth clarifying one point: the yarn itself is not metallic, it is cotton with a polyester strand that adds the sparkle; 99% of its composition is still soft, easy-to-work cotton, just like the rest of the Rico Design yarns. It is often searched for as sparkly yarn, glitter yarn or yarn with sparkle, although in reality it is a single polyester strand running through the ball.

What projects is this sparkly yarn ideal for?

Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly DK works best in small pieces where the sparkle can stand out: amigurumi details, Christmas decorations, stars, crowns or small handmade jewellery accessories. Its DK yarn weight and evenly distributed sparkle make it equally suitable as the main yarn or as an accent alongside a plain cotton yarn.

It fits naturally into the shop’s selection of yarns for amigurumi: it is ideal for amigurumi that need an extra touch of sparkle in eyes, crowns or small details, combined with plain cotton yarns. With 10 colours, from multicoloured Rainbow to solid shades such as red or blue, there is enough variety to create beautiful results without repeating the same combination.

Advantages of Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly DK

As well as its sparkle, this yarn retains the qualities that regular amigurumi makers look for: good stitch definition, a stable twist that does not split while you work, and a soft feel that is not scratchy despite the polyester strand.

• ▷ Even sparkle: the polyester strand runs throughout the ball, so the shine is not concentrated in a single area.
• ▷ Good stitch definition: easy to work with for both crochet and knitting, without losing clarity in the stitches.
• ▷ Soft texture: the 99% cotton content keeps the yarn pleasant to the touch, without the polyester strand feeling noticeable.
• ▷ Practical format: 25g balls, ideal for combining several colours without being left with excess yarn.
• ▷ Easy to combine: the same DK yarn weight as other amigurumi yarns, so it can be used alongside plain cotton yarns without changing needle or hook size.

How should you care for pieces made with Ricorumi Twinkly Twinkly DK?

Pieces made with this yarn can be machine washed at up to 30 °C on a delicate cycle to protect both the cotton and the sparkly strand. Do not tumble dry or iron directly: it is best to dry the item flat on a level surface so that it keeps its shape.

With this care, the sparkle and softness of the yarn are maintained wash after wash, without the polyester strand losing its shine or the cotton becoming matted.
