Fashion Trends

Although on the catwalks the usual creative and some outrageous styles abound – many designers have gone for practicality, comfortable materials and creative detail giving each garment a timeless look. Fashion this season features very comfortable knitwear for head to toe warmth.

Designers have taken the frosty, bright winter light and transformed it into glistening metallic yarns. According to Marriner Yarns (www.marrineryarns.com) …. ‘Marriner Sparkle yarn is 97% Acrylic & 3% Lurex. It has a gorgeous silver strand throughout the yarn with gives a shimmer effect. Ideal for adding a touch of sparkle to any outfit such as boleros, wraps, hats, scarves etc’…..

Metallic yarns are trending this season and are readily available and in a good range of colours, shades and plys.
