🧵 The yarn
Lurex STARLET 20 by Miss Tricot Filati is a yarn made from 100% metallic polyester, designed for those looking for intense shine and a truly eye-catching luminous effect. Each 20-gram ball offers approximately 90 metres of sparkling thread, perfect for adding a precious touch to Christmas decorations, fashion accessories and creative projects that need to catch the light.
It is easy to work with using either knitting needles or a size 3 crochet hook, and is ideal on its own for small decorative projects or paired with other yarns to create sparkling details on sweaters, scarves and accessories. Its metallic construction ensures an even luminous effect that enhances every stitch.
🧬 Technical composition: why it works
100% metallic polyester is the ideal choice for a lurex yarn because it provides lasting shine without losing intensity over time. Unlike blended yarns, where lurex is just a thin coating, the entire fibre here is metallic, meaning every centimetre of yarn catches and reflects light evenly. This creates a much more pronounced sparkle than yarns containing 3–5% lurex.
Metallic synthetic fibre also offers a practical advantage: it is more wear-resistant than natural lurex and retains its shine even after hand washing. For long-lasting projects such as reusable Christmas decorations or fashion accessories that will be worn repeatedly, this composition is the most reliable choice.
📦 Ball size and yield
Each ball weighs 20 grams and contains approximately 90 metres of lurex yarn. With one ball, you can make small decorative accessories such as little angels for the Christmas tree, sparkling bows, trims on placemats or luminous details on around 2–3 rows of an adult sweater. Larger projects, such as a shawl made entirely from lurex, require approximately 4–5 balls.
The 20g size is designed for those who want to experiment with lurex without committing to large quantities. If your project requires several balls, we recommend buying them all together to ensure they come from the same dye lot: differences between lots can be noticeable in metallic yarn.
🧶 Recommended tools
Size 3 knitting needles are ideal for this yarn because they create a fabric that is neither too dense nor too loose. Smaller needles tend to make the lurex stiff and less supple, while larger needles produce a fabric that is too open, causing the luminous effect to become diffused. Size 3mm provides the right balance of structure and shine.
A size 3 crochet hook is also perfect for working with this yarn, especially for projects such as decorative flowers, trims or textile jewellery. A practical tip: keep your tension slightly loose as you work and avoid sudden pulls, as metallic yarn is more delicate than cotton or wool. If you are new to lurex, start with a small swatch to get used to the material.
✨ Why choose Lurex STARLET 20
Compared with blended lurex yarns (where the metallic content is just 3–5%), this product offers a much more intense shine because it is made from 100% metallic polyester. If you have already tried yarns with lurex incorporated and found the effect too subtle, this is the product that makes the difference: every stitch really shines, without needing to work with multiple strands.
The practical benefits in everyday use? Christmas decorations made with this yarn catch the light of the tree spectacularly; fashion accessories such as clutches or textile jewellery instantly add evening glamour; and trims on sweaters or scarves bring an elegant touch that makes every garment look more luxurious.
🎨 What you can make
Lurex STARLET 20 is perfect for Christmas decorations such as little angels, stars, gift bows and tree ornaments. It is also ideal for evening fashion accessories such as crochet clutches, textile jewellery (necklaces, bracelets), sparkling trims on sweaters and cardigans, and luminous details on handmade bags.
👩🎨 Who it's for
This yarn is suitable for beginners and experienced crafters alike, but requires a little care when working with it. If you are new to lurex, we recommend starting with a small project, such as a bow or trim, to get used to the material. Metallic fibre is more delicate than cotton or wool, so you will need to work with slightly looser tension.
Who typically buys it? Hobbyists making handmade Christmas decorations, crafters creating fashion accessories to sell on Etsy or at craft markets, and anyone looking for a special handmade gift. It is also perfect for personalising existing garments with sparkling details.

📌 Important note
The stated yardage (approximately 90 meters) may vary slightly from one ball to another due to manufacturing tolerances. For projects requiring multiple balls, we recommend purchasing them all at once to ensure they come from the same color lot: variations between different lots can be noticeable in a metallic yarn. Always keep the label with the lot number for any future purchases.
