Looking for sparkly yarn that’s soft, subtle and stunning to stitch with?
 
Stellaris is a lace-weight (2ply) glitter yarn spun in Italy from a unique blend of viscose, polyester and metal for a smooth, shimmery finish that’s never scratchy. Whether you're adding a twinkle to a shawl, a shimmer to sock cuffs or a sparkling edge to your next weaving project, Stellaris is your go-to for glamorous detail without the fuss.
If you’ve been wondering how to make your knitting shiny, how to make your crochet glittery or where to buy sparkly yarn in Australia, this is the one.
 
A Yarn with a Story
 
Stellaris is made in Italy and thoughtfully designed to give makers the glitter they want without compromising comfort or ease of use. Unlike many metallic threads, Stellaris is soft to the touch and easy to work with, gliding smoothly through stitches without snagging or itching.
 
It’s fine enough to hold together with other yarns for a gentle sparkle or to use on its own for a sheer, lightweight fabric that catches the light with every movement. With 560 metres per 25g ball, a little goes a long way.
 
And with a wide range of rich, radiant colours, Stellaris is as versatile as it is vibrant, perfect for everything from minimalist accents to full-on festive flair.
 
Why You’ll Love It
 
Stellaris gives you all the dazzle with none of the discomfort. Whether you’re a knitter, crocheter, spinner or weaver, this glitter thread adds personality and polish to your projects without taking over.
 
You’ll love:
The shimmer and shine that elevates any design
The ultra-soft texture with no scratchiness
The fine weight that pairs effortlessly with other yarns
The flexibility to create subtle accents or bold statements
The huge colour range to match your mood and palette
