This singles yarn has a subtle sparkle which does not overpower the yarn. It has a gentle shine due to the construction, and takes up the dye really well, and speckles superbly. If you find that the yarn crinkles once dyed, you can put the yarn under tension as its drying, and this will smooth it out before twisting. Being a singles yarn this may not be suitable for a warp as the friction may wear the yarn due to the construction. Dyeing tips for stellina are here. This yarn is perfect for accessories and shawls and also works nicely when paired with a thin fluffy yarn.
