Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos Lurex – Sparkling Fluffy Merino Yarn
Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos Lurex is a fluffy yarn with Australian superwash merino and a fine metallic lurex strand. The shimmer is subtle rather than glittery and shows when the light catches it — warm enough for a winter sweater, dressy enough for a party cardigan or an evening wrap. The fluffy surface makes even plain garter stitch or simple double crochet (US terms) look rich.
💡 Tip & Pairings: Hold it together with Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos in a matching shade when you want the sparkle but a denser fabric — knit a swatch first, as two different yarns change the gauge. Use stitch markers: the fluffy fibres hide the stitches, so counting by eye is tricky.
Why choose Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos Lurex?
-
Soft Shimmer, Not Glitter: The lurex strand gives a balanced, elegant glint that shows when the light catches it, instead of a heavy metallic look.
-
Light Despite the Volume: The fabric looks full and fluffy yet stays light. Gazzal suggests knitting it without pulling too tight, so the fluffy texture and shimmer can show.
-
Planned Around Your Project: 90 m per 50 g, 5 mm needles. As a guide, a size M sweater takes about 8 balls; your pattern, size and gauge decide the final amount.
