Eloise is a mohair and silk duo that creates a fluffy halo to any work and is one of HOKOHOKO’s long time faaaaavourites. Use single for lace weight garments, held double for extra fluff or pair it with your best fibre base to add a fuzzy halo effect.
[Ingrid - Worsted]
Characteristics:
100% Superwash Merino Wool
115g (4 oz.), 1 ply
205 metres (224 yrds)
Ingrid is your single yarn that has a lot of character as a stand-alone yarn and Ingrid is no ply-er.Don’t be fooled by its unassuming lack of plies, Ingrid is a delicate dancer so it’s ideal for garments that require drape and movement. Single ply wool works up beautifully in shawls for its softness so give this one a go in your wearable projects. We just don’t suggest using it for socks, but give it a try anyway, we aren’t the fibre officers.

This soft base has beautiful twist definition and subtle shine. Try pairing Dottie and Eloise (lace mohair & silk) for the ultimate yarn combo and floof.

With great bounce and high twist, this yarn is easy to tension and knits up evenly with beautiful stitch definition. Perfect for colour and stitch work.

[Susu - Lace]
Characteristics:
75% Baby Suri / 25% Mulberry Silk
50g (1.7 oz.), 1 ply, 420 metres (459 yrds)
Susu (short for Suri) is a baby alpaca and silk duo that often gets compared to mohair lace. But dare we say it's not the same! Susu also adds a soft texture to any project you wish like mohair silk does but it's just a teeny tiny bit more fuzzy and cloud like. Suri alpaca is a good alternative to those who may be sensitive to mohair silk lace but still wish to play with the fluffy halo effect. It pairs incredibly well with a base yarn or held double! Give this one a go!
