Katia Versailles
Katia Versailles - super soft with bling
Katia Versailles is a type of yarn produced by Katia, a well-known brand in the knitting and crochet community. This yarn is part of their Concept collection and is known for its elegant and luxurious feel. Here are some key details:
- Composition: The yarn is primarily made of viscose (97%), with small amounts of polyester (2%) and polyamide (1%) to add strength and a slight sheen.
- Texture and Appearance: It features a pastel and bright color palette with a touch of metallic silver, making it perfect for adding a bit of glamour to your projects.
- Uses: Ideal for creating stylish jumpers, knitted tops, shawls, and eyelet stitch waistcoats.
- Care Instructions: Machine washable at 30ºC on a short spin cycle, but do not tumble dry.
This super soft viscose feels like cotton. It would be a great summer shell or short sleeve top. Originally designed for summer shawls and wraps, we love the idea of knitting or crocheting a garment. Versailles has no stretch, very little body and a lot of drape. Make sure any garment you make has some ease.
Each ball of yarn weighs 50g and is 100 meters. This is a fine weight yarn and but we recommend using size 3.5 - 4mm (5 - 6 U.S) knitting needles and size 3 - 3.5mm (D3 - E4 U.S) crochet hook. 8 balls of yarn are required to make a woman's short sleeve jumper in size 12. To make a 4x4" tension square work 22 sts and 28 rows. Machine washable up to 30ºC on a short spin. Do not tumble dry.
This is a discontinued yarn.
