Hot off the needles is this gorgeous sweater in kingcoleltd Firefly Aran. The picture does not do it justice. The sheen is amazing.

Along with the original shades we have the new shades in stock.

The very popular Firefly Aran range has 4 new colour additions, broadening the range of earth-inspired shades😍

This stunning yarn has an iridescent shine that makes each colour change and glisten in the light. Every shade is named after shimmering insects, resembling the shine of beetle shells and moth wings🪲

These 4 new shades extend the Firefly range to have 12 beautiful, iridescent shades 🧶

Firefly Aran is suitable for knitting and crochet, with patterns available to provide inspiration for both types of fibre artists🧶
