King Cole Firefly Aran — Tiger Beetle (6571)

Pure autumn. Tiger Beetle runs through burnt orange, brick red and rich antique gold, all anchored by a deep black that makes the warm tones look positively lit from within. The gold passages have the strongest shimmer of any shade in the range — they genuinely catch the light like foil without a scrap of glitter in the yarn.

It's a bold shade that suits simple shapes: let the colour do the work in a plain raglan or a generous wrap, or use the gold sections to your advantage by planning a lace border where they fall.

Firefly Aran isn't a glitter yarn — there's no metallic thread and no scratch. The shimmer is built into the fibre itself, giving knitted and crocheted fabric a soft halo and a light-catching glow that shifts as you move. Buy your full quantity in one go where you can, and join new balls at a matching point in the colour run to keep the transitions seamless.
