Holst Garn Lucia is an exquisite, beautiful and incredibly soft blend of 42% Baby Alpaca, 35% Mulberry Silk, 13% Merino Wool, and 10% Yak.

Lucia is an excellent alternative to silk mohair, offering a lace weight feather-light yarn that adds a luxurious touch to your knitwear without shedding. As a standout in the "fluffy carry-along" category, Lucia is a luxurious and soft blend of alpaca, silk, merino wool, and yak. It can be used just like any traditional lace-weight silk/mohair blend. I will be adding more colors in September. 

Lucia is the perfect companion thread for Holst yarns like Haya, Supersoft, Coast, and Titicaca - or for any other yarn brands. You can also knit it on its own with one or several threads to create light and airy garments.
