lace weight

This yarn is unlike any we’ve ever felt–and we’ve been fondling yarn for a long, long time. Sumptuous, silky and casting a glow from within, this heavy laceweight fluff is an ideal alternative for those who may experience mohair sensitivities. Knit it on its own, or our favorite method: stranded along with another yarn (fingering + lace = DK weight gauge) for a full range of texture and colorplay in your knitting. New to working with mohair? Try our Basic Buzz Hat–with one skein each of Suri and a skein of fingering weight, it’s a small, manageable project that (we think!) will start a deep and profound love affair with the fuzz.

Hand wash cool, lay flat to dry for your piece’s longest life. As with all handpainted yarns, we suggest alternating rounds/rows to evenly distribute color throughout your entire project.

Bella Filato yarns are dyed by the lovely Gwen Perenchio of neighboring Traverse City.
