Shiny is a smooth, soft and, well, shiny yarn. The 50/50 blend of superwash merino and Tencel gives the yarn a wonderful sheen and also means there is little chance of pilling. Your projects will look just as fabulous while you’re making them as they will after they’ve been worn and washed, making Shiny a fabulous option for baby items. Your lace stitches will show up beautifully.  Shiny is also a great sock yarn, particularly for warm-weather socks. Easy to care for, pretty to look at, Shiny is a great addition to your yarn stash.
