A quick information about our yarn bases:

Non-Superwash untreated bases:

Suri Fluff Lace:

75% Baby Suri Alpaca 25% Mulberry Silk;
420m per 50g | 459yard per 1.8oz

Gauge suggested by the mill:
3.25mm - 26sts & 36 rows

This yarn is like soft, fluffy clouds, crafted from meticulously brushed Baby Suri Alpaca fibers. First, the yarn is spun, then undergoes a careful brushing process that separates and fluffs the individual fibers, creating its signature feathery texture. It takes dye beautifully, though colours remain soft and speckles spread gently across the base. Depending on the dyeing method, skeins may appear slightly matted, which can be easily remedied by gently teasing and fluffing the yarn when dry.
Knitted fabric is exceptionally soft with a delicate halo, and the yarn performs beautifully as a lightweight lace or as a stranding yarn paired with other bases.

It takes dye beautifully, producing soft, gentle colours with the option for subtle speckling. The fabric holds its shape well, making it an ideal choice for garments and accessories worn next to the skin.

This exquisite blend combines the rustic charm of linen with the softness of alpaca and the subtle sheen of silk, creating a yarn that is both elegant and naturally textured. It feels soft next to the skin, though may not suit those allergic to camelids. The linen adds a warm caramel tone to the yarn’s colour, while the silk lends a delicate shine and lightness. With a drape similar to our cashmere blend, this yarn is ideal for summer sweaters, cardigans, and lightweight shawls. Additionally, its structure makes it well-suited for weaving and other textured projects.

This 100% Baby Suri Alpaca yarn offers exceptional softness and a luxurious feel at great value. After spinning, it undergoes a meticulous brushing process that fluffs the fibres, creating a unique, feathery texture and airy halo.
Though not made from first-sheared baby Suri hair like our silk blend, it remains incredibly soft and perfect for sweaters, scarves, and wraps. It knits beautifully on various needle sizes, either single-stranded or paired for extra warmth. While intricate patterns soften in its fluffy texture, colourwork and faded knits stand out.

80m per 100g | 87yard per 3.5oz

Gauge suggested by the mill: 
7mm - 10sts & 16 rows

A deliciously loopy, cloud-soft yarn that’s as fun to knit as it is to squish! This base has a wonderfully wild texture thanks to its bouclé curls, giving finished projects a playful, bouncy feel. It soaks up dye beautifully, though colourways will appear softer and more tonal once worked up. Speckles won’t hold on this base, but solids and layered shades shine. We recommend 6.5 - 8mm needles depending on the effect you’re after. Perfect for cosy scarves, funky hats, statement jumpers, or add it as a weft yarn for irresistible texture in your weaving.
It is very chunky: 7mm - 10sts & 16 rows!

This yarn is crafted from baby llama, offering a next-to-skin softness with a gentle halo. It may feel slightly itchy for very sensitive skin. It features beautiful stitch definition and a pleasing texture, balancing drape and structure, remaining less drapey than our cashmere blend.
However, its moderate drape should be taken into account. The result is soft, airy, and holds its shape well, making it perfect for shawls and cosy sweaters.

A blown yarn, which means the fibres are gently blown into a fine, hollow mesh tube. This construction creates a light, airy structure without the need for spinning and plying, resulting in a yarn that’s soft, lofty, and warm - but much lighter than a traditionally spun yarn of the same thickness.The cotton mesh provides stability and structure, while the alpaca offers warmth and softness.

The result is a yarn that’s incredibly warm and perfect for shawls and sweaters.
