Why You'll Love It

• Silky Inner Core: The silk base adds a delicate sheen and ensures the yarn remains strong and durable despite its delicate appearance.
• Perfect for Layering: Carry it alongside another yarn to add warmth and a "brushed" effect, or knit it solo for delicate, transparent fabric.
• Soothe Your Skin: Suri alpaca is known for being smoother and less "itchy" than mohair, offering a softer experience for those with sensitive skin.
