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!

Eliza’s notes:

Try pairing a single strand of mohair/silk (m&s) lace to a solid colour base and you’ll be surprised by how much colour this unassuming silky strand can offer!

Good things to know:

Using great hand-dyed yarns come with great responsibilities. Just kidding. But there are some things we want you to know:

• Each skein is coloured with care in a ‘hand-dye’ process, meaning we apply colour to each skein of yarn by hand. Variegations and irregularities can occur even if fibres are treated in the same dye lot or batch. All skeins are unique!

• We suggest purchasing enough yarn for your project use and alternate skeins for even colouring.

• Care: we recommend hand-washing cool, squeeze or spin dry and dry flat. 

• We photograph our products in a light controlled environment and we try our best to display colour accuracy that are true to each batch. Please note that colours can still translate differently between monitors.
