Metallico Fine is an incredible yarn; a real showstopper with its beautiful, shiny thread with an elegant, satin shine. The yarn consists of a core made from polyamide, surrounded by a fluffy, lightly brushed mix of merino wool and soft acrylic.
Metallico Fine is a thinner version of Hobbii Metallico, and the thin strand gives you lots of options in your creative endeavors. It can be used on its own for fine and light knit and crochet. But imagine how perfect it could be when combined with other yarns. For example, when knit or crocheted with a thin and fine lace yarn like Kid Silk, Diablo, or Alpaca Blaze. There are lots of shelves to choose from and endless possibilities when it comes to creating beautiful color combinations, where you’ll add extra fluffiness and shades of color to a base of the beautiful and shiny Metallico.
Metallico Fine doesn’t itch, and the beautiful mix adds an exclusive touch to everything from a simple sweater to cute accessories. Use it for things like elegant edges to your knitwear, or combine the colors in a fabulous, striped sweater. The shine in the yarn can lift a very simple design into the extraordinary.
It’s also ideal to experiment with two or more strands of Metallico and Metallico Fine on larger needles. The yarn is still light, and the colors are, considering slight color variations, the same in the two thicknesses. By using several strands, you may be able to adjust the knitting tension to fit your favorite pattern.
The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (nr. 2276-367). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/

The fine Metallico yarn has knit up beautifully as a tied scarf. I've added some beads too as this was an experiment. It seems that until you see the yarn (the video does give a good representation) and actually handle the yarn you still don't know till you can try it out for yourself. It knits beautifully. I can crochet but haven't ventured that far but the yarn doesn't split as it's worked and its soft. I've not washed this to see how it handles after a wash but I am happy with the result so far. I'm tempted to buy the metallica aran thickness too for a jumper but have yet to find the right pattern to do justice to the yarn. I don't think anyone would be disappointed. It would be nice to have a sampler of all the colours before purchasing.

I didn’t know you could fall in love with a yarn! I hadn’t made anything in fine yarn previously. I didn’t know it could be so warm! Excellent as a scarf or shawl, with a slight sheen. I have found it takes a long time to unpick if you go wrong (and I do), but I have worked out how to do it, I want to get it right and it is very possible, go slowly and with patience. Right now, I can’t imagine making any project unless it is in this yarn. Totally devoted!

A friend made me a beautiful beanie hat using this yarn and I was obsessed with the subtle colour shift. She had some left over and gave it to me to play around with and after about 5 minutes, I was on google searching for more! I’ve now ordered ordered 3 different colours in fine and standard and I can’t wait to get crafting! Such good value for money!

Metallic find is a pleasure to work with. I am knitting a summer cardigan. It is easy to work with, nice and soft feel . The threat is robust and does not read when working with it. If you have made a mistake you can with a little care rip it back and restart. The colour 07 is a lovely double with a lovely silver shine to it.

I love the look of this when I crocheted it up, I haven't tried to knit it but I should imagine it's just as nice. I will say, be careful not to make a mistake to rip it back otherwise the yarn binds easily to itself and hard to untangle. I've had a lot of complements on it and looks great with the crocodile stitch I used.
