Why you'll love it

Meet Disco String by Stitch Lane Yarns – the easiest way to turn “that’s nice” into “where did you get that?”

This 100% cotton 5ply thread is dotted with a mix of 3mm and 6mm sequins and designed to be held alongside your favourite yarn. Think of it as the ultimate supporting act – adding shimmer, texture and just enough drama without stealing the whole show. It's a dance party for your yarn!

Hold it double with wool, alpaca, mohair or cotton and watch your fabric come alive. A subtle twinkle in soft neutrals. Full sparkle energy in bold colour. You’re in control of the vibe.

Just remember, a little goes a long way! You don't need to hold it with every row, every second row is still gorgeous, or space it out to every three or four rows for a more subtle (but still fabulous) effect.

Disco String is perfect for:

adding sparkle to cuffs, collars and trims
elevating simple stockinette
gifting projects that deserve a little extra
knitters who believe more is more

It’s playful. It’s joyful. It’s surprisingly wearable.

And yes – it really does make you want to knit just one more row.

A 5ply cotton thread dotted with sequins, made to be held together with your favourite yarn. Disco String adds sparkle and a little texture without taking over – it's a dance party for your knitting!

Two sizes of sparkle: 100% cotton, with a mix of 3 mm and 6 mm sequins along the thread.
Hold it with anything: pair it with wool, alpaca, mohair or cotton. Soft neutrals give a subtle twinkle; bold colours bring the full sparkle.
A little goes a long way: you don't need it on every row. Every second row is gorgeous, or space it out to every three or four rows for a softer effect.
Great for: cuffs, collars and trims, lifting a simple stocking stitch piece, and gifts that deserve a little extra. We also love it for tees and tops to wear to your next party.

Yarn Weight vs Yarn Ply

"Ply" technically refers to the construction of the yarn. It's the number of strands that are twisted together to make a single piece of yarn. While "ply" historically related to the thickness (or weight) of the yarn, today's spinning technology means that the number of plies doesn't always correspond directly to the thickness of the yarn.

However, in some countries, including Australia & the UK, the numbering system of yarn ply still refers to the thickness of the yarn, so it's possible to have a single ply 4ply yarn! - this means that the yarn is constructed of a single ply, but has the traditional thickness of a 4ply sock / fingering yarn).

For more information, please refer to our Hook, Needle & Yarn Guide and our blog A Quick Guide to Yarn Weights.
