🌞 On its own, for summer garments Fine and medium yarns

Yarns with a cotton base and small sequins that do not scratch: work them on their own with 3-4mm needles and hooks for tops, tank tops, light cardigans and clutches.

🌈 Chain yarn with coloured sequins Light and cheerful

Chain yarns with multicolour sequins: very light and fresh, worked with 4-5mm needles or hooks for colourful tank tops, tops and summer cardigans.

🤝 Carry-along thread To pair with another yarn

Fine threads with sequins designed to be worked together with mohair, alpaca, wool or cotton: they add light to sweaters, shawls and stoles without weighing the garment down.

💧 Viscose or blended base Drapey and shiny

Viscose or blended yarns with sequins: more fluid and lustrous than pure cotton, perfect for soft, drapey garments such as evening tops and light stoles.

Working with a carry-along yarn means holding two strands together as if they were one: the main yarn gives body and warmth, the sequin yarn adds light. Use the needles or hook recommended for the main yarn, do not pull the yarn too tight and keep the sequins on the right side of the work. Recommended pairings: mohair wool and alpaca wool.

What is cotton with sequins?

It is a yarn with a cotton or blended base where the sequins are fixed directly along the strand: when you knit or crochet you get a sparkling fabric without sewing sequins by hand.

Can cotton with sequins be crocheted?

Yes. Most sequin yarns are worked with a 3 to 5mm hook; you will find the recommended size in each product sheet.

Do the sequins scratch while working?

In yarns with sequins built into the strand the sequins are small and firmly fixed: they do not scratch and the garment stays soft on the skin. Do not pull the yarn too tight.

What does carry-along yarn mean?

It is a yarn worked together with another one, holding the two strands together. Sequin threads pair with mohair, alpaca or cotton to add light to sweaters, cardigans and shawls.

How many balls do I need for a summer top?

It depends on the yardage: a top in size 40-42 (EU) needs roughly 500-800 metres of yarn. Divide the metres by the yardage per ball and buy them all together to get the same dye lot.

Do the sequins come off with use?

In yarns with built-in sequins the sequins are fixed to the strand and withstand working and gentle washing. Avoid hard rubbing and aggressive spin cycles.

How do I wash a garment in cotton with sequins?

Preferably by hand in cold or lukewarm water (max 30°C), without rubbing or wringing, drying flat. Do not iron directly on the sequins.
