This great looking Italian-made yarn is called Cotton Sparkle from Euro Yarn. There are 9 skeins. This is a lightweight style of yarn that is made from thread that has been knitted into a small tube. There is a subtle fleck of silver every so often, just to catch an interesting glint of light. The suggested gauge is 4.25 to 5 stitches to the inch so it can be used with many patterns that have a gauge of 18 to 20 stitches to four inches. It is made of 90% cotton with 6% polyamide and 4% polyester.
Because of the yarn's interesting and uncommon construction, the yarn will be a great weight for the warmer months. Since it is cotton, it is very soft and there is no itch. This yarn shows off stitches well whether in texture or lace patterns. Each ball has 218 yards, so there is enough to make a long sleeve garment or a number of smaller garments with total of 1962 yards. The yarn sold for $16.50 per ball. From a non-smoking environment.
