YarnArt Flowers Moonlight: gradient yarn with metallic sparkle, 1000 m

What is YarnArt Flowers Moonlight and what makes it special?

Flowers Moonlight is a yarn cake weighing 260 g and containing approximately 1000 metres, combining a very gradual colour gradient with subtle metallic sparkle. Its base is 53% cotton and 43% acrylic, while the remaining 4% is a polyester strand with a metallic finish that gives the fabric its discreet shimmer.

This Moonlight version is the sparkling variation of the Flowers range, known for its colour-transition yarn cakes. If you have already worked with classic Flowers yarn, here you will find the same interplay of colours with an added touch of sparkle, which is especially noticeable as the garment moves.

If you enjoy working with yarn cakes and colours with plenty of character, you can discover other yarns from the same brand in our shop.

Gradient yarn with sparkle: how the colour changes as you work

This gradient yarn changes slowly from one shade to another, so each colour covers a long section of the fabric before blending into the next. The result is soft bands of colour without abrupt changes, with subtle sparkle distributed throughout the strand. There is no need to change balls or join different colours: the yarn cake does all the visual work for you.

You can start working from the outside or from the centre of the cake, depending on the order in which you want the colours to appear. As with all gradient yarns, the transitions may vary slightly from one cake to another, so if your project requires more than one, it is best to buy them together.

What can you make with a 1000-metre yarn cake?

With so much length in a single cake, you have plenty of yarn for projects where the gradient can really shine across larger areas, such as a gradient shawl, top or summer blouse. Its cotton base makes it cool and comfortable for spring and summer, while the sparkle adds a special touch without looking overdone.

• ▷ Triangular or crescent shawls, where the slow colour transition can be appreciated from one end to the other
• ▷ Lightweight tops, blouses and cardigans with a lovely drape
• ▷ Stoles and cowls for special occasions
• ▷ Lightweight blankets and decorative pieces with a gradient effect
• ▷ Crocheted bags and accessories

If you are looking for yarn for a shawl, this yarn works particularly well with simple stitches such as garter stitch, stocking stitch or treble crochet, as these allow the colour to stand out at its best.

Needles, tension and care for this sparkling gradient yarn

The manufacturer recommends 2.5 mm knitting needles, with a tension of 28 stitches and 40 rows over 10 × 10 cm, and a 3 mm crochet hook, with a tension of 23 stitches and 32 rows. Always make a tension swatch before starting a sized garment and adjust the needle or hook size to suit your tension.

To care for your projects, follow the instructions on the label:

• ▷ Hand wash at a maximum of 40 °C
• ▷ Do not bleach
• ▷ Do not iron
• ▷ Do not tumble dry
• ▷ Dry flat on a horizontal surface
• ▷ Suitable for professional dry cleaning

Drying the garment flat helps it retain its shape, which is especially important for shawls and garments with drape.
