"Stella" from Lana Grossa is a worsted weight, 70% cotton and 30% nylon, that is made up of two different woven strands joined together about every inch. One strand is a bold solid color, the second a translucent, died to match, that creates a lustre as you knit. "Stella" would be suitable for sweaters, scarves, tops, vests, and heavier garments.
