1cm Soft Feather Fancy Yarn for Knitting

Product Overview

Our 1cm Soft Feather Fancy Yarn redefines luxury in textile design, offering a plush, velvety texture with a 1cm-long pile that adds depth and tactile appeal to knitted garments. Crafted from 100% premium polyester (selected for its softness and resilience), this yarn mimics the feel of natural feathers while providing superior durability and easy maintenance—unlike natural fibers that may shed or degrade over time. The feathered effect is achieved through precision spinning and brushing, creating a uniform pile that stands upright for a lush appearance.

Product Features

Lush Texture: The 1cm pile creates a cozy, tactile surface that feels soft against the skin—perfect for winter accessories like scarves and hats, providing warmth without weight.

Creative Freedom: Compatible with knitting, crochet, and embroidery, it enables unique patterns such as cable knits, popcorn stitches, and openwork designs that highlight its texture.

Easy Care: Machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle, it retains shape and softness after repeated washes; tumble drying on low heat prevents pile matting.

FAQ

Q: Can this yarn be used for children’s clothing?

A: Yes. It meets OEKO-TEX® Class II standards, ensuring no harmful substances contact children’s skin, and its low-shed design minimizes choking hazards.

Q: How do I prevent shedding?

A: Gently hand wash or use a laundry bag for machine washing; avoid overcrowding the washer to reduce friction. Air drying flat helps maintain pile structure.

Q: What needle size is recommended?

A: Use 5–6mm needles for optimal stitch definition—smaller needles may compress the pile, while larger needles may create loose stitches that snag.

Q: Does the pile flatten over time?

A: Minimal flattening occurs with regular use; gently brushing with a soft bristle brush can restore the pile’s upright appearance.
