If you like textured yarns this is the one for you! When knit alone it is light like the air. When knit together with anther yarn it will provide warmth without making it heavy. Its softness is incomparable.
And yes, it is the perfect substitute for mohair. Or rather... Let the mohair be prepared, because the composition of this wool is going to dazzle you, you won't want another one!
In short:
- 50 gr skeins
- Weight: lace
- Metreage: 400 m
- Composition: 42% baby alpaca, 35% solk, 13% superfine merino, 10% yak
- Spun in 2 plies
- Needles: if you knit it single use 3mm needles or bigger. You can knit it together with any yarn you want, I strongly recommend to knit a small swatch to see which needle gauge you prefer.
- None of the fibers is superwash
- Origin: Alpaca and merino from Perú, from cruelty free farms. Silk from China. Yak from Tibet and Mongolia.
Colors change in each lot, and sometimes even in each skein. If you want to avoid problems you should combine skeins as you knit. Oh, and try to buy all the skeins you need for your project in one order, the differences between dyeing lots are usually evident.
Every monitor shows colors in a slightly different way, and even though I take a lot of care when I edit the photos, what you see on screen will never be exactly what you see in the real skein. Also, the photos you see on the page are usually not of the same skeins that I am going to send you, although discreet, there are always some variations.
Wash the finished piece carefully in cold water (NOT WARM!!!) and with the same shampoo you use for your hair. You don't need to use vinegar. In the first washes a little dye can be released, so if you are going to use very contrasting colors it is better to knit a small sample and wash it. This is impossible to avoid, so I will repeat it a thousand times if necessary: wash with cold water and shampoo!
If you want to know a little bit more about washing your woolens see this post.
Unless otherwise stated, prices are for one skein.
I ship orders once a week, usually on wednesdays. If you placed an order of yarn ready to ship it will leave my workshop on the next shipping day. If you chose a dyed to order yarn I will have to dye it and will ship in two-four weeks time. If you have both kind of yarns I’ll ship the order when I have dyed the dyed to order skeins.
In the photo of each product you'll see a label that indicates if the skeins are in stock or if they are going to be dyed to order. On the store page you have a button to filter only the yarns that are ready to ship. If a color is available, on the product page below the price you can see the how many are in stock. If you need more than what is in stock, I will treat them as if they were made to order, so that you receive all the skeins of the same dye lot.
When your yarn is ready to ship you’ll receive a confirmation email.
Once your parcel leaves my door it usually takes from one to three days (usually no more than two) if you live in Spain, Portugal or Andorra. International shipping times and shipping to the islands are harder to predict, but usually don’t take more than one week.
If you have any doubt or are in a hurry do not hesitate to contact me before placing the order.
