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

Ranked on stitch gauge, then yarn thickness, then fibre character.
Substitution is anchored on gauge, and we have none for ASTRA. We rather not guess based on the yarn group or weight alone. You can still compare the skein specs above.

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: 1406 yarns · 42 brands · 135 without gauge · 276/1408 gauge rows missing row count.
