Astrofil · Starry Sky 4500 · 450m/492yds per 100g/3.5oz · 100% Cotton (Co) · Sequins · Beads

Due to the nature of this yarn's construction, it is wound into skeins only. The cone will be removed upon order assembly with a refund.

Starry Sky 4500 by Astrofil is a pure cotton yarn of exceptional tactile quality, threaded with a continuous scatter of sequins and beads that creates a fabric surface alive with light. The cotton itself is notably soft for its category, smooth and clean against the skin with none of the stiffness that lesser cotton yarns can carry. It is the kind of cotton that invites touch rather than discourages it.

The sequins and beads work together in a way that flat-sequin-only yarns cannot achieve: the sequins catch light in broad, flat flashes, while the beads add a three-dimensional sparkle with depth and roundness. Together they create a layered luminosity across the fabric surface, dense enough to be visually spectacular yet distributed with enough regularity to remain elegant. Light does not simply reflect from this fabric, it plays across it.

Starry Sky 4500 works beautifully as a standalone yarn, where the soft cotton base and the combined sequin-bead effect can fully express themselves, and as a companion thread, adding cotton freshness and layered sparkle to any combination.

Versatile Use

At 450m/100g, Starry Sky 4500 works in 1 or 2 strands for hand knitting and crochet. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Best worked in simple stitch patterns where the sequins and beads can sit cleanly on the fabric surface. Ideal for tops, cardigans, shawls, and occasion pieces where soft cotton comfort and spectacular light effects define the design.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently in cool water

Use a mild detergent suitable for cotton

Lay flat to dry on a horizontal surface

Do not wring or twist

Do not iron, sequins and beads may be damaged by heat

Swatching Required

A washed and thoroughly dried swatch is essential. Cotton has no natural elasticity and may relax after washing, altering gauge. The behavior of sequins and beads after washing should also be checked in the swatch. Accurate swatching ensures proper fit and yardage estimates.
