Himalaya Dore is a lightweight cotton blend yarn with sequins, combining an easy-to-use knitting and crochet yarn with a ready-made decorative effect. Small sequins are incorporated directly into the strand, creating scattered points of sparkle as you work. The yarn is made from 45% cotton, 45% acrylic and 10% sequins. Each ball weighs 50 g and contains 155 m / 170 yds. The manufacturer recommends 4 mm knitting needles and a 3 mm crochet hook.
What can you make with Himalaya Dore?
Himalaya Dore is ideal for summer tops and blouses, lightweight sweaters and cardigans, shawls and knitted or crocheted accessories. Use it on its own when you want the sequins to appear throughout the entire project, or combine it with other yarns and introduce the sparkle only in selected sections such as sleeves, stripes, trims or decorative details.
Unlike a traditional metallic glitter thread, Dore creates its decorative effect with small sequins incorporated directly into the yarn.
