Hand-Dyed Lace Baby Suri Alpaca & Silk
75% Baby Suri Alpaca, 25% Silk | Lace Weight/2ply
230 yards / 210m per 25 gram skeins
My hand-dyed Baby Suri yarns have a luxurious feel and are very soft. Suri Alpaca Silk is a blend of 75% soft, fluffy Baby Suri Alpaca with 25% Silk to create a cloud like 'halo' lace weight yarn. This yarn is softer than our mohair/silk blend- and a great alternative and/or substitute. This yarn can be combined with other yarns to create wonderful textured feel or on its own with a variety of needle sizes to create different fabric effects.
Baby Suri alpaca/Silk is the perfect alternative to people who are sensitive to mohair.
All my hand-dyed yarns are smaller dye-lots and each hand-dyed yarns I create, are unique.
Care Instructions: Each skein of my richly colored, hand-dyed yarns is a unique work of art! Due to the nature of the hand-dyeing process, some excess dye may be present. To maintain the vibrancy of your finished pieces, I recommend hand-washing them separately.
Even in my solid shades, like soft cream, subtle variations add a touch of character to every skein. If you're looking for a more uniform color for your project, I suggest pairing with a mass-produced lace-weight yarn, such as CaMaRose Midnatssol, or similar mohair and alpaca blends for an even finish.
Hand wash using a wool detergent ideally below 30 Degrees C (86F), avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat, do not sun dry, spin or tumble dry.
The alpaca is sources from alpaca in Peru that are treated humanely.
