STELLATO by RiGo, Italy is an elegant Italian cotton yarn with integrated paillettes, designed to add refined sparkle without overwhelming the fabric. The strand is built from four extrafine cotton threads, and 2 mm paillettes are placed at regular intervals along the yarn (approximately every 5–10 cm / 2–4 inches) to create a light, sophisticated shimmer.

Color-specific detail: in the Olive and Pink colorways, one of the four cotton threads is a shiny mercerized cotton strand, twisted around the other three. This adds extra dimension and a subtle sheen even between the paillettes.

▣ Important Note on Color & Shine
This yarn is difficult to capture accurately on camera. Paillettes and shine do not photograph well, and the true beauty, depth, and refined shimmer of STELLATO are far more visible in person. For the best impression, we strongly recommend using the zoom function on the photos to appreciate the texture and metallic detail.

⌁ Texture & Feel
Soft, breathable cotton with a clean, elegant structure. The paillettes create delicate sparkle with even spacing for a refined finish. In the Olive and Pink colorways, the added mercerized thread gives an extra touch of shine and dimensional texture.

➤ Companion Yarn Recommendations
STELLATO works beautifully when paired with:
• Fine cotton yarns – to create a subtle shimmer effect in warm-weather garments
• Merino or extrafine wool – to add soft sparkle to sweaters and accessories
• Mohair or alpaca – for texture contrast and dimensional shine
• Silk blends – for elevated evening pieces with refined luminosity
It can be held together with a base yarn to distribute paillettes more softly throughout the fabric.

➤ Recommended Uses
• Summer tops and lightweight sweaters
• Elegant cardigans
• Statement pieces with subtle sparkle
• Shawls and wraps
• Accessories with refined shine

➤ Recommended Needles & Hooks
• Knitting Needles: approx. 3.5–4.5 mm (adjust for desired density)
• Crochet Hooks: approx. 3.5–4.5 mm
Swatching is recommended to evaluate drape and paillette placement.

➤ Weaving Suitability
Suitable for weaving, especially as an accent yarn or feature weft. Sampling is recommended due to paillette spacing.

⟳ Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cold water
