Knitting with MILLE COLORI SOCKS and LACE LUXE

MILLE COLORI SOCKS & LACE LUXE (a review)

I thought I was buying this yarn for the colours. Turns out, I stayed for the shimmer. The metallic thread catches the light in the gentlest way, making my socks and shawls feel just a little bit extra — in the best way possible.

My First Impressions

MILLE COLORI SOCKS & LACE LUXE is exactly what its name promises — a thousand colours brought together in a way that feels like a festival on your needles. The subtle integration of metallic thread adds a shimmer that enhances, rather than overwhelms, the vibrant transitions. Each ball is unique, meaning no two projects will ever be the same, and that unpredictability is part of its magic.
