Soft luster in a luxurious laceweight yarn. This has a satin luster in comparison to luster lace. The 50% wool is a fine Corriedale cross with baby huacaya alpaca 30% & kid mohair 20%. All fibers are 4-5 long. 2 ply, laceweight 3000 ypp, 600 yards per skein, 3.1 ounces. 1 skein is plenty for small to medium shawls; 2 would take care of most large shawl patterns, & 3 is enough for a lacy sweater. Multiple colors available, hand dyed by me with professional acid dyes. I strongly suggest if buying all yarn you need for a project at the same time, since these are dyed in small batches & will be impossible to guarantee a match in a subsequent batch. Colors are semisolid or tonal variation with the spring green showing the variation associated with dye splitting (that I like a lot!). All animal fibers are US small farm fiber from local farms. This is an extremely drapey yarn with excellent strength. As such, it would be excellent in a special woven project & would make good warp or weft. It is just as well suited for lace knitting that special shawl or dressy sweater. The staple length of all fibers is 4 inches or more, so it will be very pill resistant. Due to wool content, there is adequate memory in the yarn for any technique. This yarn is not brushed, but the mohair content will cause a beautiful halo over time. If you do not like that effect, I would suggest another yarn without kid mohair. This run is a slight variation on our Baby Blend Laceweight that we have sold for years. I buy individual fleeces & yarn runs are thus small. Hand wash in cold water, lay flat to dry. Shipping is included in the price due to etsy’s current preference on shipping. If you order multiple skeins, there is a small discount refunded for combined shipping. Hand Dyed Laceweight Yarn Baby Blend
