Silkpaca - Cantabrico 114

Wearing an item made of Silkpaca is like wearing a cloud! This yarn is 70% baby alpaca and 30% silk, which makes it 100% luscious. Soft, silky, with just a bit of a halo. Despite being their 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.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Some colors may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.  

A note about color variation:  Due to the hand dying process, each skein is unique.  You will receive a skein from this colorway, but not the exact skein pictured.  The proportions and intensities of colors may vary.  If you are ordering multiple skeins of the same color, we will hand pick skeins that match each other as best as possible.  We recommend buying your entire yardage requirement for your project in the same transaction for color continuity.
