Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos Lurex – Sparkling Long-Hair Merino Blend
Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos Lurex takes the soft, long-haired merino blend you already know from Marilyn & Merinos and threads it with a fine metallic lurex. The result is a light, feathery yarn with a quiet shimmer that catches the light as you move — warm enough for a winter sweater, dressy enough for a party cardigan or an evening wrap. The halo does half the work for you: even plain garter stitch or simple double crochet looks rich.
💡 Tip & Pairings: Hold it together with Gazzal Marilyn & Merinos in a matching shade when you want the sparkle but a denser fabric, or work it on its own with larger needles for an airy, open wrap. Use a stitch marker — the long fibres hide the stitch line, so counting by eye is tricky.
Why choose this sparkling blend?
- Festive Without the Scratch: The lurex strand is spun into a soft merino-polyamide base, so you get the glint of a party yarn without the wiry feel metallic yarns usually have.
- Superwash Merino: The Australian merino is superwash-treated, so it machine washes on a gentle cycle. A shimmer sweater stays a sweater you actually wear.
- Quick to Knit: 90 metres per 50 g on 5 mm needles. The fluffy halo fills the fabric fast, so scarves, cowls and cardigans grow in an evening or two.
