Pettinatura Lagopolane · Azalea 5500 · 550m/601yds per 100g/3.5oz · 77% Polyamide (PA) 23% Alpaca (WP) · Sequins

Azalea 5500 by Pettinatura Lagopolane is a soft, airy halo yarn with sequins, a combination that is as unusual as it is beautiful. 23% alpaca provides the natural fiber foundation, contributing its characteristic silky warmth, weightless softness, and a subtle natural luster that runs through the halo fibers. 77% polyamide provides the structural backbone that holds the halo in place and carries the sequins cleanly through the thread.

The sequins are distributed along the yarn at measured intervals, appearing as small flashes of light within the soft halo, catching and scattering light from inside the fabric rather than sitting boldly on its surface. The effect is intimate and refined: the halo diffuses the sequin sparkle into something soft and dreamy rather than sharp and theatrical.

As a companion thread, Azalea 5500 is exceptional. A single strand added to any base yarn simultaneously wraps it in a soft alpaca halo and introduces a delicate scatter of sequin light, transforming the combination with warmth, softness, and a quiet inner luminosity that elevates any yarn it accompanies.

Versatile Use

Azalea 5500 works from 1 strand upward. Larger needles than the meterage suggests are recommended, the halo needs space to breathe and the sequins need room to catch the light. For machine knitting, finer strand combinations are equally possible. Ideal as a companion thread or standalone for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, and accessories where soft halo texture and delicate sequin sparkle define the design.
