Knitting with QUATTRO LAMÉ

QUATTRO LAMÉ (a review)

If you’ve ever wanted to add sparkle to your knitting without going full disco ball, QUATTRO LAMÉ is the answer. It’s soft, smooth, and comfortable to wear, with a shimmer that’s noticeable but not over the top. Plus, it’s machine washable too - fabulous! 

My First Impressions

QUATTRO LAMÉ blends mercerised cotton’s lustre and strength with a fine glitter thread for subtle, lasting sparkle. It feels substantial in the hand, works smoothly on the needles, and produces fabric that dazzles without being overpowering.

Knitting Experience

The mercerised cotton ensures smooth knitting and crisp stitch definition, while the glitter thread adds gentle shimmer. At sport weight, it’s versatile for garments, accessories, and decorative pieces. The sparkle is integrated so well it enhances rather than distracts from your stitch work.

Wearing and Performance

QUATTRO LAMÉ proves that sparkle can be practical. After repeated machine washes at 40°C, garments retain their sheen and glitter without fraying, fading, or shedding. It’s breathable, comfortable against the skin, and robust enough for everyday use.

Where QUATTRO LAMÉ Excels

• Children’s garments — durable enough for play, dazzling enough for special occasions

• Summer accessories — sparkle and breathability in beach bags, wraps, and tops

• Everyday wear with a twist — subtle glamour without high-maintenance care

• Gifts — luxurious feel and appearance with easy-care convenience

Yarn Characteristics

• Mercerised Finish: Lustre, strength, and excellent colour absorption

• Subtle Glitter Thread: Enhances without overwhelming, and survives washing

• Sport Weight Versatility: Works for structured garments or drapey summer projects

Care & Practicality

Machine washable up to 40°C. Avoid fabric softeners to preserve lustre. Lay flat to dry for best results. No special handling required — everyday glamour is easy to maintain.

Value for Money

Generous yardage and durability make QUATTRO LAMÉ a worthwhile choice for sparkle projects that get worn regularly. One yarn offers both strength and elegance.

Final Verdict

QUATTRO LAMÉ is proof that sparkle doesn’t have to be reserved for “special” projects. It’s a versatile, easy-care yarn with a subtle dazzle that enhances garments without compromising comfort or practicality.
