King Cole Cosmos is the yarn to reach for when you want your finished piece to genuinely shimmer under the light. Whether you’re knitting a glittering evening bag, a festive party headband, or a sparkling shawlette, Cosmos gives every stitch a star-dusted finish that’s impossible to miss.
Cosmos combines 76% glitter yarn with 24% payette, creating a yarn that catches the light from every angle as you knit. It works up with a fine, airy texture that layers beautifully, making it ideal for adding sparkle to a statement clutch bag or a delicate evening wrap. The yarn feeds smoothly off the ball, keeping your tension consistent even with those tiny 3.25mm needles.
The Cosmos colour range leans into bold, jewel-toned shades — think deep golds, midnight blues, and rich reds — each one allowing the sequins and glitter to do their best work. A single ball can transform a plain stocking-stitch headband into something that looks genuinely considered and occasion-worthy. The colours hold their depth through wear, so your finished piece looks just as striking the tenth time it’s worn as the first.
Cosmos is a smart choice for accessories and decorative knits that need to stand up to handling — the payette sequins are securely integrated rather than loosely threaded, so they don’t shed with use. Each 25g ball offers a generous 393 metres, meaning a little goes a long way for smaller projects like a beaded beret or a glittery coin purse. Always check the care label before washing to protect the sequin finish.
