Merino/Silk/Cashmere Alpine Shadows

Description

This is a luxurious 2 ply yarn with medium twist comprising the finest grade of ultra soft long staple merino available, mulberry silk for drape and lustre and the bloom of supersoft cashmere adding a lovely subtle halo.

This is the perfect yarn for lacework and next to skin softness. One skein would be enough for a cosy cowl or medium sized shawl, 2 or 3 skeins would make a very indulgent wrap and 3-4 skeins would make a fabulous jumper with lace detailing around the yoke or hem.

This is a lovely semisolid pale blue.

Perfect luxury for a special person.
