🧵 The Yarn
DMC SHINE Wool is a soft, warm, and durable multicolor yarn designed for those seeking a ball that combines the practicality of acrylic with the natural warmth of wool. With a composition of 20% wool and 80% acrylic, this yarn offers the perfect balance between comfort, durability, and ease of care, making it perfect for winter garments that need to withstand daily use.
Each 100g ball provides approximately 138 meters and is worked with 6.5mm needles or a crochet hook. The multicolor mélange effect develops progressively as you work, creating unique shades that make every garment original without needing to change yarn or handle complex color changes.
🧬 Technical Composition: Why it works
The 80% acrylic ensures dimensional stability, wear resistance, and easy machine washing at 40°C. This means garments made with SHINE Wool maintain their shape even after repeated washing, do not felt, and dry quickly. DMC's quality acrylic is soft to the touch and itch-free, a crucial feature for garments in direct contact with the skin.
The 20% natural wool adds warmth, breathability, and that comfort feeling typical of animal fibers. Wool regulates body temperature, absorbs moisture, and makes the yarn more pleasant to wear on cold days. This percentage is calibrated to offer the benefits of wool without compromising the convenience of easy maintenance.
📦 Ball Size and Yield
Each ball weighs 100g and provides approximately 138 meters of yarn. With one ball, you can make a standard-sized hat or cowl. For larger projects, keep in mind that a long-sleeved size 12 sweater requires about 4-5 balls, while 2 balls are sufficient for a scarf about 150cm long.
We recommend purchasing all the balls needed for your project at once, preferably from the same dye lot. Multicolor variants may show slight differences in the color sequence between different lots, a natural characteristic of printed yarns that contributes to the uniqueness of each garment.
🧶 Recommended Working
6.5mm needles are the ideal size for this yarn because they create a fabric that is soft yet compact, perfect for winter garments that need to retain heat without being stiff. With this size, you get a gauge of about 14-16 stitches per 10cm in stockinette stitch, ideal for sweaters, cardigans, and structured accessories.
The 6.5mm crochet hook also works perfectly with SHINE Wool. The yarn slides well over the hook and works best with simple stitches like single or double crochet, which showcase the multicolor effect without masking it with overly elaborate textures. Suitable for both beginners looking for an easy-to-handle yarn and expert hobbyists who want to create quick projects.
✨ Why choose DMC SHINE Wool
Compared to 100% acrylic yarns, SHINE Wool offers the warmth and breathability of natural wool without sacrificing machine washability. Compared to 100% wool yarns, it eliminates the risk of felting and drastically reduces drying time. It is the right choice for those who want warm and comfortable garments but do not have the time or inclination to handle delicate hand washing.
The progressive multicolor mélange effect is its true strength: you create unique, striking garments without having to manage color changes, complex joins, or weaving in ends. Each ball features a color sequence designed by DMC to ensure harmonious transitions and balanced results, even for those knitting for the first time.
🎨 What you can make
DMC SHINE Wool is perfect for winter sweaters and cardigans, warm scarves and cowls, original hats and beanies, matching gloves and cuffs, and lightweight blankets and throws for the home. The 100g format and generous yardage make it also ideal for more structured projects like ponchos, shawls, and trendy accessories.
👩🎨 Suitable for
DMC SHINE Wool is suitable for both beginners and experienced hobbyists. The yarn slides well on needles and hooks, does not split easily, and the multicolor effect masks small imperfections in tension, making it perfect for those new to working with medium-to-large needles.
It is chosen by hobbyists looking to make garments for themselves or as gifts, artisans seeking a reliable yarn for handmade collections, and those who take commissions and appreciate the ease of maintenance that ensures satisfaction for the end customer. Also perfect for group projects or creative workshops thanks to the vibrant color palette and intuitive handling.
