Holst Garn Lucia is a truly exquisite blend of 42% Baby Alpaca, 35% Mulberry Silk, 13% Merino Wool, and 10% Yak. This incredibly soft yarn offers a luxurious alternative to silk mohair, providing a feather-light lace weight option that enhances your knitwear without the shedding.

As a standout in the "fluffy carry-along" category, Lucia combines the best of alpaca, silk, merino wool, and yak to create a delicate yet indulgent yarn. It can be used just like a traditional lace-weight silk/mohair blend and pairs beautifully with other Holst yarns such as Haya, Supersoft, Coast, and Titicaca – or even with yarns from other brands.

Whether you use Lucia as a companion thread or knit it on its own, with one or several strands, it’s perfect for creating light, airy garments with a touch of elegance. Stay tuned for more colors coming in October!
