Patons Metallic

I've used this yarn in several clothing designs for my shop, and I absolutely love it. It's a tube style nylon yarn filled with a contrast/complimenting shade of wool that mellows out the intensity of the shine and makes the yarn overall thicker and thinner in some parts, which gives it a depth I really like. The yarn can be a bit of a pain to use, the soft nylon is prone to snagging, so you want to make sure your nails are smooth and hands soft to prevent snags while working, and wooden or bamboo hooks are easiest to use with it. Acrylic hooks are far too "sticky" to work with this kind of yarn, and aluminum hooks can cause snags (though I typically use aluminum and an extra bit of care). This is also not a great yarn to use if you're prone to having to unravel and rework often, I learned that the hard way. I've tried this yarn in green- which has black contrast, rose and purple-which both have a light grey contrast. The pic is of a skirt I'm finishing up, it's a bit blurry, but hopefully it helps you get an idea of what this yarn looks like once it's worked with.
