Aran, 3 ply
70% baby alpaca 30% mulberry silk
100 g skein, approx. 166 m (181 yards)
Recommended needles: 4.5 mm – 5,5 mm (US 7-9)
Sample: 18 stitches x 24 rows/10 cm with 5 mm needles (US 8)
This simple yarn is soft on the skin and has a beautiful pearly sheen due to the mulberry silk. Lovely drape, fantastic for shawls, hats, cowls or any garment that strikes your fancy!
It does not contain nylon and is not recommended for socks.
Hand dyed with natural materials in small batches.
Each batch is unique, and there may be slight shade variations in a skein. It is recommended to introduce a new skein of yarn slowly by alternating skeins row for row.
There may be occasional excess of color and plant residue.
Photos are taken in natural light, but color may vary from screen to screen or be perceived differently.
Care: hand-wash with a neutral pH wool soap, ideally below 30 °C, avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat, out of direct sunlight, without spinning or tumble drying (even for SW wool).
