Apollo is a unique yarn. The Extrafine Merino is fluffy and soft, with added strength from Nylon. The Lurex offers a striking, but subtle sparkle that is perfectly plied with the yarn. It has a light texture and gives lovely drape at the right gauge. Apollo is perfect for garments, accessories, and even socks.
