SURISILK LACE: Approximately 50g/437 yards 65/35 baby Suri alpaca/silk. This is a 1-ply laceweight yarn.
These were kettle-dyed a light mottled mocha brown then speckled and splotched with gold, caramel and a touch of pink. They are quite mottled and each batch is a little different. Note the ones pictured may be slightly different than the ones in stock, but accurately depict the colourway. If using more than one, please alternate. KidMoSilk Lace is pictured as it looks very similar.
Floof, fluff, fuzz - I don’t think there is anything much lighter and softer! Suri alpaca at its loveliest, blended with silk to create a thread and elevate it to the next level. Use this held together with another base for a fuzzy halo or by itself as a lacy (or even thicker), fluffy, unimaginably soft fabric. These are a bit more matte versus mohair silk lace, but the softness is unmatched. It's a luxurious blend and a great alternative to KidMoSilk if you don’t play well with mohair (almost identical yardage, could be swapped 1 to 1).
The texture of this base doesn't allow for distinct speckling, so colourways are more mottled or variegated. Also, it does not gain much size with blocking so please keep that in mind when planning your project. Be gentle when caking.
For a long, gorgeous life gently hand wash your garment in tepid water, shape a little while wet and lay flat to dry.
