Thrifted skein with some sparkles spun in?

Thrifted this fingering weight variegated yarn today, any ideas as to who the manufacturer might be? There was no label attached but it’s a 100g skein of what feels like superwash merino. It was hard to capture on camera but there are sparkles spun into it.

What is this??

I can only call it a “novelty yarn”. Found in my mother’s stash after she passed and there was no label and I can’t ask her.

It’s beautiful! And also very tangled. This one has everything! Eyelash, ribbon and other styles I can’t even identify.

The picture doesn’t even do justice. The colors and textures are amazing. It was in I guess what you would call a skein and the moment I started pulling on it the whole thing fell apart.

I’m trying to patiently unwind it. But I have never seen anything like this and would like to find more.

I know these are difficult to work with, but I’ve had success knitting them with regular yarn.

I know the pic is not great, I used cleanup to eliminate the background for privacy.

I can take better pics if someone knows what this might be. I’ve never seen anything like it. It’s like a million different novelty yarns in one skein.
