    Another fabulous Silkpaca

    I'm a big taupe fan, and I was surprised by how much I also liked this one - I suspect I'll be using the two together a lot as the tonal variation is just enough to be interesting. One of my favourite yarns to work with, and so kind on the hands.

    Product and great service

    The yarn is beautifully soft, easy to work with and great quality. The service was excellent, questions about stock and product were promptly and helpfully answered.

Description

Despite being Malabrigo's thinnest yarn, it is plied and sturdy - perfect for lace projects and very special objects that are sure to become precious heirlooms.

Great for: Lace, shawls, scarves, diaphanous garments.
