Flowers Moonlight – YarnArt: luminous gradient with subtle sparkle

Flowers Moonlight is a cake-type yarn designed to offer continuous colour gradients and an elegant shimmering touch thanks to 4% metallic lurex thread. With its generous 260 g format (1000 m), it provides enough material to create medium-sized projects with a single cake, such as shawls, blouses, light blankets or summer accessories.

It is composed of 53% cotton, which provides breathability and softness, and 43% acrylic for durability, easy care and strength. Additionally, the metallic lurex adds a subtle, elegant shine – perfect for festive or sophisticated garments.

YarnArt Flowers Moonlight – the perfect yarn for spring shawls and garments with gradients and a touch of shine

YarnArt Flowers Moonlight is an elegant and eye-catching yarn designed to add a hint of shimmer to your spring and summer creations. This sparkling version of the popular Flowers series from the Turkish brand YarnArt incorporates delicate metallic fibres (lurex) intertwined with its signature colour gradients, creating a refined and vibrant visual effect.

Made from a balanced blend of cotton, acrylic and lurex, this yarn delivers softness, strength and a touch of subtle shine. It comes in a “pastel cake” format with a generous 1000-metre length, allowing you to knit or crochet complete shawls, dresses, blouses, cardigans or wraps with just one ball. Its soft 4-strand twist makes it easy to work with – both for knitting and crochet.

Thanks to the high cotton content, it’s ideal for lightweight and breathable garments. The texture is smooth and pleasant on the skin, making it perfect for scarves, light blankets or even transitional tops.

The sectional dyeing process, characteristic of the Flowers range, creates beautiful stripe and gradient effects with carefully chosen colour combinations by the manufacturer. However, as with all multicolour yarns, slight variations in colour transitions may occur even within the same batch – so we recommend buying all the yarn you need for your project at once.

To care for your creations, hand wash or use a delicate cycle (max 40 °C), dry flat and iron gently at a low temperature. This helps preserve the yarn’s structure and shine without deformation.

How to use YarnArt Flowers Moonlight yarn

Flowers Moonlight works best with fine knitting needles or crochet hooks to enhance drape and gradient flow.

Tips for use:

▷ Use 2.5 mm needles for a dense fabric; go up to 3 or 3.5 mm for a more airy finish
▷ A 3 mm crochet hook gives great definition for lace or textured stitches
▷ Best suited for simple stitches or wide structures (e.g. double crochet, garter stitch, classic granny)
▷ Always swatch before working on size-specific garments
▷ You can work from the centre or the outside of the cake, depending on your preferred gradient order
▷ Wash inside out at low temperature, no tumble dryer

Expert tip: For added volume without losing the colour transition, hold it together with a neutral plain yarn (like white or cream cotton).
