Starlight 5000 500m/100g (547yds/3.5oz) – Polyamide, Merino Wool & Baby Alpaca Blend

From the Italian mill Filpucci SPA, Starlight 5000 is a luminous, lightweight blend spun from polyamide, fine merino, and baby alpaca. This yarn lives up to its name — its structure catches the light with a delicate, silken glow that feels both modern and refined. Softly twisted and quietly radiant, it brings a whisper of sheen to your stitches while retaining the warmth and breathability of natural fibers. Ideal for multi-strand garments, light accessories, or shimmering base layers.
