✨ Texture & Feel
Exceptionally soft, lightweight, and cloud-like — this yarn feels luxuriously gentle against the skin. The thread is a knitted silk-based cord filled with baby alpaca, giving it both airiness and structure. Because of its corded construction, the yarn behaves fuller than the yardage suggests, blooming beautifully after washing and creating a soft, warm, refined finish. Ideal for pieces where you want comfort, elegance, and lightness without bulk.

• Lightweight sweaters, tops, and layering pieces
• Soft scarves, cowls, and shawls
• Baby items and sensitive-skin projects
• Minimalist garments with gentle drape and warmth

🪡 Recommended Needles & Hooks
This yarn works beautifully starting from a single thread.
• Knitting Needles: 3.5–4.5 mm (US 4–7)

🧵 Weaving Recommendations
Excellent as weft for soft, warm fabrics with gentle drape. When held double, it adds volume and warmth to woven textiles. For warp use, pair with stronger fibers such as silk or fine wool for stability. Recommended sett: 8–10 EPI for soft, weft-dominant textures.

📍 Care Instructions
• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Reshape and lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight
