Cheerleader for Peserico

Cheerleader by Pecci Filati, 13% Wool 28% Alpaca 22% Polyamide 37% Polyester-Paillettes, 220 meter/100 gram. This is a highly engineered fantasy yarn where construction is the defining feature: at its core is a polyester chain structure with integrated sequins, designed so the paillettes are locked into the chain during formation rather than applied on the surface, and around this technical inner chain sits a polyamide cord that is filled with soft alpaca and wool fibres, creating a cushioned outer layer that adds softness, volume, and balance to the construction. The result is a multi-layer system with an internal sequinned chain that creates a delicate, diffused sparkle and an outer fibre-filled structure that softens both the handle and the visual intensity, with the sequins remaining fully enclosed so the shine appears subtle and refined, revealing itself only through movement and light rather than sitting on the surface. This construction stabilises the sequins, protects them within the structure, and creates a controlled, elegant shimmer very different from traditional surface-applied glitter yarns, while still keeping the yarn light and flexible. Needle suggestion: 4.5–6 mm depending on desired openness, drape, and how prominently the internal sparkle should read in the fabric.
