Fiber Content: 85% Polyamide (nylon) 15% Metallic Lurex Length & Weight/Ball: 142 Yards per 50 Gram Ball Suggested Needle: 7 - 8 US (but this will vary depending on the project you choose!) Dark Horse Yarns - Beautiful Ladder Yarn - This is a gorgeous metallic enhanced ladder / trellis ribbon yarn, sometimes varies in width along the strand in the skeins we've examined, from just over 1/8" wide, to just over 1/16" (see pics) -- with just under 1/2" between the "rungs". So the rungs are tightly spaced which means lots of bling and lots of color in this ribbon yarn! A sparkly winner with gorgeous color combinations from Dark Horse yarns. 1 skein = 50 grams, 142 yards - that's plenty of beauty for your project whether you're making necklaces, earrings, tops, scarves, shawls or adding some loveliness in your weaving, knitting, crocheted creations.
