King Cole Yummy Glitz is your go-to when you want a chunky, eye-catching yarn that knits up fast and looks genuinely striking. The built-in glitter thread catches the light beautifully, making it ideal for a sparkly evening bag, a festive cowl, or a glamorous chunky scarf that turns heads without requiring weeks of work.
This yarn has a plush, chenille-style body courtesy of the 94% polyester base, giving it a soft, velvety hand feel that’s satisfying to work with on large 6mm needles. The 6% glitter thread is woven throughout, adding a consistent shimmer rather than random flashes, so your finished fabric has an even, sparkly sheen from top to bottom.
Yummy Glitz comes in deep, saturated shades that let the glitter do its job — think jewel tones and festive hues that look particularly stunning knitted up into a beaded-style headband or a decorative Christmas stocking. The colour carries right through the yarn, so your fabric looks vibrant even in low light.
Because this is a polyester-based yarn, it’s robust, resists pilling, and holds its shape wash after wash — a real bonus for accessories that get a lot of handling. The chunky novelty weight means projects like a glittery cowl or a gift bag knit up in an evening, making it a brilliant choice when you need something impressive in a hurry.
