Submitted by Regev on

Metallico is a soft and shiny yarn like no other! You can find this yarn on the Hobbii website, along it's sibling - Metallico fine, which is a thinner version of the same yarn. It is a soft and lovely yarn that really catches the eye with its beautiful, satin shine. Metallico is made from polyamide fiber, that’s encased by a fluffy, lightly brushed mix of merino wool and soft acrylic. It can be used for the whole family - including those with more delicate skin since the yarn doesn’t itch or scratch at all!
