Nylon

Look familiar? Yes, the ever popular Firefly is back, but now on bigger balls and with the addition of glitter* to half the shades, so it doesn't look dissimilar to Starbright! It's a gorgeously soft, light ladder yarn that is constructed from 93% nylon and 7% polyester. The colours include some of the most popular shades from the original range, plus new additions. The glitter is woven through the ladder to add a twinkling, slightly crinkled effect to catch the light and add some glamour. Knit into simple scarves, choose from the new patterns we have in stock or dig out your old patterns and have fun. Knit on 4mm pins to a tension of 25 stitches and 34 rows to a 10cm square, or use much larger needles for a lacier effect.

Unfortunately the company who supply us with this yarn are no longer trading, so when it's gone, it's gone I'm afraid. We still have stocks of all the shades shown and we'll try and keep the website up to date as we sell out of shades.
Starbright is a fantastic ladder yarn constructed from 94% nylon and 6% Lurex. It may be familiar to you as it's very similar to Sirdar Firefly which is now discontinued. Starbright is available on bigger balls, but the main difference is the Lurex which runs throughout the yarn adding a lovely twinkling effect. Knit into delicate scarves and shrugs or combine with beads for contemporary jewellery. If you have any old Firefly patterns it will knit up to them perfectly. One ball will make a long, lacy scarf.

Baby Crofter is the baby version of the immensely popular Crofter DK, however, this double knitting yarn has been created on a "Snuggly" base, to the blend of 55% nylon and 45% acrylic means it's lovely and soft against the most sensitive skins. It has a Fairisle effect as you knit meaning you achieve unique and colourful effects with none of the hard work. The colours are inspired by the gentle shades of the Scottish Highlands and there are shades to suit boys and girls. It's machine washable, so extremely practical and can be knitted to any of the gorgeous Baby Crofter patterns or any double knitting patterns.

Chic is spun from a combination of 60% nylon, 30% polyester and 10% metalised polyester, which doesn't sound very inspiring until you see what that means! This lovely eyelash yarn is made in some fantastic combinations, both subtle and dramatic and all are interspersed with long strands of glitter making it really luxurious. There are patterns available for scarves & shrugs and a white wedding collection of accessories. It's also brilliant to add decoration and embellishment to weaves, embroideries & tassels.
