This gorgeous delicate boucle is something really special.

It’s a soft boucle with added shine from the silk. It takes the dye really well. My favorite thing to do with this yarn is to strand it with one end of our Suri Silk cloud. Perfect for accessories, cuffs, Cowls, and sweaters. It gives a knitted fabric a lovely light texture and dyes like a dream

 You know those tiny grey super fluffy kittens? This is what squishing this yarn reminds me of. It's super soft, fluffy and silky, absolutely gorgeous. A sweater or cowl made in this yarn will be divine and something you will never want to take off. There is zero itch factor for this yarn, a super alternative for those that don't get on with Mohair.

The yarn takes the dye well, speckles spread softly. The skeins may require a little re-fluff depending on your dyeing method once done. I made two swatches for this yarn, one in #7 and one in #8 both work, nicely, the size 7 has a neater quality, but I like the drape of the #8.
