So with this particular filament (which is Hyper Speed PLA from a local brand but it has this glittery shiny silver blue look) I get reall good results with pretty much no string on a retraction test but when I print actual object (with 1.25mm retraction at 220C) I see very weird and thing hair like strings. Anyone has any recommendations on what settings I should tweak?

It sounds like you may need to adjust your retraction settings further. You could try increasing the retraction length slightly, or adjusting the retraction speed to see if that helps reduce the stringing on your prints. Additionally, lowering the print temperature a bit can sometimes also help with reducing stringing. Experimenting with these settings should help improve the print quality with the glittery shiny silver blue filament you are using.

I'll experiment with a slightly lower temp and different retraction speeds but as seen on the retraction test, the length doesn't have any effect

Also make sure your nozzle is clean
