Peru Alpaca, Chinese Silk Lace
384m | Lace

Malabrigo Silkpaca yarn knitted up is like wearing a cloud! This yarn is 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk, making it soft, silky, with just a bit of a halo. The yarn is plied and sturdy- perfect for lace projects and very special objects that are sure to become precious heirlooms.

Great for: lace work, shawls, garments and to hold double with other yarns

We think it will be a great match for a Cumulus Blouse or Love Note Sweater to name just two. 

Knitting with hand dyed yarns: as each skein will vary slightly in colour, we recommend that if working with multiple skeins in the same colour way that you work two skeins at the same time.  ie working one or two rows/rounds with one skein, then swapping to the other.  This will reduce the chance of obvious pooling of colour.
