The whole concept seemed interesting, but in person it is on another level. It is different in the best way compared to all other yarns that try to have some metallic, shimmer, or other such affect. While most of those kinds of yarns come off as cheap or are hard to make the finished result look nice, this metallico yarn has all the promise of making something you make shimmer and look professionally done at the same! Also, in other yarns failing to make a similar effect there is an issue of many yarns being uncomfortable, scratchy, too stiff, and sometimes completely unwearable. Metallico yarn, I am happy to say, is pleasant to touch and so far is good for both loose draping clothes as well as those that need structure, and looks great with the crochet stitches I have tried out with it so far. So many garments I want to make with this it is so pretty and many color options I like!

Wow! I got Metallico for a kit that I saw on Hobbii’s site for a gorgeous shawl. The original color that it was showing was a navy blue. But I saw this burgundy color - and I had to have it. The yarn is so soft. The color is beautiful, and I loved using it. I made the shawl and like with most of the things I crochet, I gave it away. I usually never keep the things I make. I gave it to my mom and she loves it. She says she was surprised at how light it feels yet still keeps her warm. When I was using it I was concerned that it would split, but it didn’t. I love this yarn and if I could afford it I’d buy every color. The yarn is super smooth and easy to use. It slides through my fingers when I was crocheting my project so it made the project quick to make. I love this yarn. LOL course so far I have yet to be too disappointed with any yarn I’ve bought from Hobbii.

I am obsessed with any yarn that sparkles, but even I wasn't ready for this. If i could only use one metallic/sparkly yarn for the rest of my life it would be this one. No thin metallic thread that separates from the rest of the tarn and snags or breaks and is scratchy, NO SPLITTING (it might actually be witchcraft how easy it is to crochet with), doesn't lose it's shininess once worked up, and has gorgeous stitch definition. It glows. I'm desperate for more colors like a yellow gold or orange copper since I'm pretty sure this might be the only yarn I use from now on. Looks incredibly luxe and is surprisingly forgiving. This is the yarn I want to be buried with.

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this yarn!! When I first ordered it, my intentions were to make a scarf for myself - - but when I received it, and felt how phenomenally SOFT, and luxurious it is, I had to switch gears!! I ended up ordering MORE and making a beautiful shawl for my mother-in-law! And I wouldn't give her anything that wasn't "out of this world" soft and drapey (Yep! She deserves stuff that fantastic!)
Thank you Hobbii for making sure that EVERYTHING you sell is made with incredible care and quality! I have yet to receive ANYTHING from you that has been produced with less than A++ Brilliance!!

I bought the Rose Gold colorway of this yarn, and I've been making a sweater out of it. The yarn is incredibly soft for having that metallic shine to it! I've been taking it to work (I like to crochet during breaks) and I've been getting a lot of compliments on it. I even ended up getting one of the ladies there hooked on hobbii yarn!

Unfortunately I misjudged how much yarn I need, and I made it halfway through the second sleeve when I ran out, and the rose gold color is out of stock right now...I hope it comes back in stock soon, I am very excited to wear a sweater made out of this soft and smooth yarn!
