This incredibly soft blend of Baby Suri Alpaca and Silk is an absolute dream. So very soft and light. It can be used on it's own or held together with a strand of heavier weight yarn, as you would a silk mohair, to knit a luxurious project with a soft and fuzzy texture. Melinda and Gergely and the creative minds behind Zakami Yarns, a family run, small-batch hand-dyed yarn company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Each skein in dyed in small batches and variations between skeins should be expected. Composition: 75% Baby Suri Alpaca / 25% Silk (Non Super-wash) Yarn weight: Lace Yarn length: 420 metres / 480 yards Hand wash in cool water and lay flat to dry. If using more than one colour in your garment it is recommended that you block a swatch to check for colour bleeding when using high contrasting colours. Also due to the individual nature of hand-dyed yarn, I would always recommend alternating skeins.
