Emma's Suri Silk

An ethereal, cloud-like halo without the prickle of mohair. Emma's Yarn Suri Silk is a luxurious lace-weight blend of baby Suri alpaca and silk. Spun to create a soft, feathery "fuzz," this yarn offers a dreamy glow and weightless warmth, making it a perfect alternative for those sensitive to traditional mohair fibers.

• Silky Inner Core: The silk base adds a delicate sheen and ensures the yarn remains strong and durable despite its delicate appearance.
• Perfect for Layering: Carry it alongside another yarn to add warmth and a "brushed" effect, or knit it solo for delicate, transparent fabric.
