Understory Suri Silk

  Suri Silk is a decadent, lovely lace-weight yarn often used in conjunction with another yarn to add a little fluff and softness. It is 74 percent baby alpaca and 26 percent silk. Suri Silk is often used as a substitute for mohair, as some people cannot tolerate mohair against their skin. Our skeins are sold as 50 grams - 328 yards (300m). If you knit it single stranded, a size 1-3 US needle works well. Otherwise, if you plan to use 2-strands of Suri Alpaca, a size 5-6 needle works well.  FIBER: 74% baby suri alpaca, 26% silkWEIGHT: laceTEXTURE: soft, fluffySKEIN WEIGHT: 50gMETERS / YARDS: 300m / 328ydsKNIT: 1 - 3 (US) / 2.25 - 3.25mmCROCHET: B1 - E4 / 2.25 - 3.25mm
