Bernat Baby Blanket Sparkle 300g - Planetary Purple Sparkle Yarn | Super Bulky Shimmer

Meet Bernat Blanket Sparkle, a sparkling addition to the trusted Bernat Blanket family. This super bulky yarn blends the plush feel you love with a subtle shimmer, making cozy projects feel a touch more magical. The Planetary Purple Sparkle colorway brings a bold, celestial hue that looks inviting in baby blankets, throws, and decorative accents for the home.

Why this yarn stands out

Crafted from 100% polyester, this yarn is designed for warmth and easy care. Each ball weighs 300 g (10.5 oz) and offers about 220 yards (201 meters) of smooth, lofty fiber. The fabric density yields a soft, plush texture under hands, ideal for snuggly projects that sit comfortably atop a sofa or crib blanket without feeling stiff.

Its super bulky gauge is paired with clear knitting and crochet guidelines to help you plan quickly. For knitting, aim for 8 stitches and 13 rows on a size 8 mm needle. For crochet, use 7 single crochets and 8 rows on an 8 mm hook. The result is a chunky look with shimmering highlights that catch the light as you work and as you lay it out in the room.

Using Bernat Blanket Sparkle

You can mix and match this shade with other Bernat Blanket colors to create cohesive, shimmering blankets or eye catching accents. It performs well on its own for bold, all over sparkle as well as in combination with solid tones to highlight the glow of the thread.
