Manos Lace Weight Yarns

This is the height of luxury - a beautiful lace weight yarn for all of those special heirloom projects. It is an opulent mix of three specialist fibres baby alpaca, cashmere and silk and comes in 50g skeins. It is hand dyed in large kettles to create a marbelised, subtly striated effect that forms a rich palette of glorious colours. No two skeins are exactly alike and therefore there are no dye lots. For this reason I recommend buying enough yarn to complete a project. If there are differences between skeins I would suggest working with two skeins at once working two rows from one skein and two rows form another to get an overall blended effect.
