What is metallic yarn is?

Metallic yarn is a type of yarn that incorporates metallic fibers, typically made from materials like polyester or nylon, which are coated with metal or have a metallic finish. This gives the yarn a shiny, reflective quality, making it popular for decorative and novelty knitting, crocheting, and weaving projects. Metallic yarn is often used in garments, accessories, and home decor items to add a touch of glamour and sparkle. It can be a bit more challenging to work with than regular yarn due to its texture and weight.
