Like a shooting star, this yarn lends a subtle glint of silver or gold to your projects. It is worthy of note as an additional yarn to elevate a basic knitting project. ASTRA works particularly well when combined with a fluffy mohair yarn to elegant effect, or as a tasteful accent on a ribbed border or edging. Despite a rough appearance, the handle defies expectations with a surprisingly soft touch. Owing to its non-metallic finish, ASTRA's Black (1150.0004) differs from the other colours in composition and length: 66% polyester / 34% polyamide ca. 450 m per 25 gr

Weight group is derived from measured gauge, not the brand's label — that is why a yarn labelled "aran / worsted" can sit in our Aran group while another brand's "worsted" lands in DK. Library: 1484 yarns · 57 brands · 142 without gauge · 344/1490 gauge rows missing row count.
