Video Tutorial: Adding Sparkle to Any Yarn!

I’ve had a hard time finding a sparkly yarn that comes in all the colors I want (I love Red Heart Shimmer & Caron Simply Soft Party but the colors of both are a little limited) so I came up with an easy technique that allows me to add sparkle to any yarn I want! Here’s a tutorial that will explain what I used and how I did it!

I love that this let’s me add sparkle to any yarn I choose, any fiber, any weight! And I also get to pick the color of the sparkle! I hope you have fun with this! Let me know if you try it out! :)

Oh and here are links to the sparkle threads I used: Holoshimmer (the sparkly silver) & Metallic (the clear iridescent).

    I love this idea, thank you for sharing this. I love sparkly yarn, but it’s usually out of my budget. This is the perfect solution.

    That is such a brilliant idea! I haven’t seen the Caron Simply Soft Party anywhere here, but I have found some Red Heart Shimmer. It’s great but like you say, the color selection is so limited. I’ll definitely have to try this out some time!

    This is such a great idea!!! I’m planning on making a bunch of different colors sparkly amigurumi dragons as gifts and I wasn’t sure I’d be able to find enough colors. This will be so perfect! Thanks :D

    This is brilliant! I will have to try this to jazz up some of my plain cotton yarn that’s just been sitting around. Thanks for sharing.
