Stand out from the crowd with this cool and serene accessory, worked in DMC Cotton Six Strand Embroidery Floss and DMC Perle No. 5, and set off by a contrasting calla lilies bloom.

Yarn Talk | Knit Picks Shine Sport
| March 5, 2021 | Filled under Yarn, Yarn Talk |
One of my all-time favorites, Shine Sport is a blend of 60% Pima Cotton and 40% Model (natural Beech wood fibre) which gives cotton a lustrous depth and silky appearance. It knits to a smooth and soft fabric and is perfect for baby and children’s garments and blankets as it’s machine washable as well. Finished projects have great drape, and feel really like silk.
And this yarn is super soft – love how it feels to work with it!
Projects made with this yarn:
Brand: Knit Picks
Yarn Name: Shine Sport
Weight: Sport weight (#2 Fine)
Fiber Content: 60% Pima Cotton, 40% Modal® natural beech wood fiber
Yardage: 1.75 oz (50 g)/110 yd (101 m)
