Universe is a really nice yarn, with a long, elegant color gradient. Here a thin glittery thread is spun in, that can add a little sprinkle of glamour to any project. The glittery thread is so fine that it can hardly be felt - however it can be seen! It matches the yarn’s colors so you’ll get a really cool bling effect, without being too ballroom.
You’ll go a long way with the 462 meters in a single skein, so not much is needed for a super festive shawl or poncho.
We are crazy about glitter!
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

Universe is such a beautiful yarn, and despite having glitter thread through it, is not at all scratchy. I have bought it in 3 different shades, 2 of each colour, and 2 cakes make a decent sized shawl. The colours are truly stunning, more so than depicted in photos. I would say that it is not the easiest to rip back if you make an error in your work, but this wouldn't put me off purchasing more. I am totally in love with All the Hobbi yarns I have tried so far. I am now hiding my purchases from my hubby, cos it's becoming an addiction lol!!! 😂😂

I bought 3 colours and finished my first project with 19 (Cassiopeia) a beautiful ballerina wrap top for my daughter. I used 2 threads and hook 5mm. The yarn generally self stripes but if you double it you get the most beautiful blend and you still can have a mild ombré effect that is truly charming. The yarn is soft and twinkling, photos do not do it justice, it is easy to work, slightly less easy to frog if you make a mistake, but still reasonable. I truly enjoyed working with it and I can’t wait to start the next two projects( one is for me).

Amazing result in my shawl project and the person I gifted it to was absolutely delighted! I used Galactic and it certainly looked like something out of this world. Until I found this site I was using yarn for the sake of using yarn, but now I actually look forward to crocheting, especially with yarn this amazing. I also find this yarn very relaxing (might sound weird) it has such a nice texture that I now use it as a form of meditation, love it!!!! I've already ordered another skein as I've been asked for more!

Love this yarn. I've never knitted with multicolour like this and found it exciting to see what colour it changed into. I just wanted to keep knitting!! The colour combination (I used number 12) was beautiful.
Lovely and soft. I did find that I was slipping stitches quite a lot as it's very fine and silky, probably due to my inexperience! but not a huge problem.
Will definitely buy this yarn again

At first this yarn was terrifying as its so fine but once I got the hang of it it was lovely to.crochet with. Really soft and not scratchy at all. Made my first ever shawl and my husband begged me for a scarf he loved the colours so much. Also got my order wrong and Hobbii rectified it without complaint and were incredible. Customer service was fantastic. I'll never buy my yarn anywhere else now.
