Cofil S.R.L. · Ostuni 3000 · 300m/328yds per 100g/3.5oz · 60% Cotton (Co) 30% Polyamide (PA) 10% Lurex

Ostuni 3000 by Cofil S.R.L. is a cotton-lurex cord yarn with a quietly elegant character. A fine gold lurex thread is twisted into the cotton-polyamide core, running continuously through the structure and adding a warm, understated metallic shimmer that catches light with every movement of the fabric. The effect is refined rather than flashy: the gold lurex enhances the natural warmth of the cotton base without overwhelming it, creating a yarn that reads as luxurious and wearable in equal measure.

60% cotton provides the clean, breathable foundation: crisp in structure, cool to the touch, and with the natural matte character that makes the lurex's shimmer read all the more clearly against it. 30% polyamide reinforces the cord construction with durability and resilience, ensuring the thread knits cleanly and the finished fabric holds its shape through wear and washing. 10% lurex delivers that continuous thread of gold that runs through every stitch, present in every row, subtle enough to wear anywhere.

Ostuni 3000 works beautifully as a standalone yarn and as a companion thread, adding cotton freshness and a continuous gold lurex shimmer to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 300m/100g, Ostuni 3000 is a true DK-weight yarn ready to knit and crochet as is. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal for summer tops, lightweight cardigans, shawls, and warm-weather occasion pieces where natural fiber freshness and a touch of gold define the design.
