Soft, luscious Suri alpaca gives Muse a beautifully soft hand, gorgeous sheen & amazing halo. Although the yarn appears thin, the long silky fibers mesh together as you knit to create a cohesive, fleecy fabric. Hand dyed in Italy, the yarn is lovely knit alone or held together with another yarn to add depth of color, soft halo and/or gauge. Each colorway has a dappled, painterly effect when knit. *Tip: To blend hand dyed yarns more successfully & create a more even effect when working with 2 or more skeins, we recommend working from 2 balls & alternating every two rows.
