Red Heart Roll With It Sparkle Yarn — Self-Striping Medium #4, Magic 3-Pack with Metallic Accent

Red Heart Roll with It Sparkle Yarn 3-Pack is a self-striping, metallic-accented #4 medium acrylic yarn designed to produce eye-catching, ready-to-wear crochet and knit accessories from a single cake.

These 150g (5.29oz) cake skeins combine jewel-like colours with a subtle metallic thread to create garments and accessories that shift colour automatically as you work. Each ball measures 356 meters (389 yards), so a single cake provides long continuous colour changes without frequent joins. Machine washable acrylic makes finished pieces easy to care for and wearable in everyday settings.

How does this yarn create the shimmer and colour transitions?

The yarn is composed of 100% acrylic fibres twisted with a fine metallic strand, giving a luminous sheen without heavy weight. Its factory-engineered striping means colour shifts occur at regular intervals, so garments show flowing bands of hue.

• Metallic filament woven into the yarn for a delicate sparkle
• Pre-planned self-striping sequence for predictable colour changes
• #4 medium weight suitable for a wide range of hooks and needles
• One cake yields long uninterrupted lengths—fewer ends to weave in

What sizes, tools, and stitch gauges work best with Roll with It Sparkle?

This yarn is a medium (#4) weight; recommended tools are a 5 mm (U.S. 8) knitting needle or a 5.5 mm (U.S. I-9) crochet hook for typical gauge. Tension can be adjusted by changing hook or needle size if you want looser drape or tighter fabric.

• Knitting gauge: 19 sts x 25 rows = 4" x 4" (10 cm x 10 cm) with 5 mm needles
• Crochet gauge: 15 sc x 19 rows = 4" x 4" with 5.5 mm hook
• Each ball: 150g (5.29oz) and 356m (389yds) for longer projects
• Great for garments, scarves, cowls, hats, and accent trims

How should I care for finished items made with this yarn?

Because the fibre content is 100% acrylic, finished projects are low-maintenance and machine washable. Follow standard warm water washing and tumble-dry on low or gentle settings to maintain colour and shimmer.

• Machine wash and dry recommended for everyday convenience
• Avoid high heat to preserve metallic thread integrity
• If blocking, use cool steam or a damp cloth—handle gently
• Store away from rough surfaces to prevent metallic fray

What kinds of projects showcase Roll with It Sparkle best?

The built-in colour shifts and metallic sheen make this yarn ideal for projects meant to stand out without complex colorwork. Accessories and statement garments capitalize on the automatic striping while requiring minimal colour planning.

• Scarves and cowls that display full colour transitions
• Hats and mitts with subtle sparkle accents
• Lightweight sweaters or shawls where sheen adds depth
• Striped trims, borders, or one-skein small projects
