Louisa Harding Tulla Twinkle Galactic 206
Louisa Harding Tulla Twinkle Galactic 206 is a dreamy blend of blush pink, pale mint, soft lavender, silvery gray, and delicate lilac. Its whimsical pastel palette lends itself beautifully to airy sweaters, shawls, scarves, and charming accessories.
Tulla Twinkle is a blend of fibers featuring soft merino wool and recycled cotton, enhanced with a subtle sparkle and a tasteful tweed fleck. Like its sister yarn, Tulla Tweed, Tulla Twinkle is designed with a chainette construction—a fine base yarn braided into a hollow I-cord structure. This construction creates a fabric that is lightweight, warm, and less prone to pilling, as the hollow center helps trap heat and adds volume without weight.
When designing with Tulla Twinkle, Louisa follows the principle used for all chainette yarns: use a larger needle than you would with a traditionally plied yarn to achieve the correct gauge. This allows the yarn to bloom and move freely. Using smaller needles can result in a fabric that’s overly dense and heavy.
If substituting Tulla Twinkle for another yarn—particularly one that is worsted spun and traditionally plied—it is essential to swatch first to ensure the fabric behaves as intended. Tulla Twinkle’s unique structure and shimmer make it ideal for elevated garments and accessories with warmth, lightness, and a touch of magic.
