El Dorado Lace

El Dorado Lace is a worsted spun, lace weight yarn made from a luxurious blend of Peruvian baby alpaca and the finest mulberry silk.  Baby alpaca’s softness and warmth is unparalleled.   Alpaca wool does have very different properties than lambswool and finished garments should be cared for by steaming and shaping.

Halo

This amazing lace weight yarn is similar in construction to Sophia, but instead of mohair, uses baby suri alpaca for it’s halo. Work two strands held together with any pattern calling for sport weight (it will be delicate and gorgeous) or hold it with another strand of yarn to add an incredible, buttery soft fuzz. 50g./328 yds. (74% baby suri alpaca, 26% mulberry silk.)

Sophia

This super light and airy lace weight yarn is a perfect choice to work alone, with 2 strands held together, or held with any other yarn to add a tiny amount of halo. Two strands of mulberry silk hold the superkid mohair fibers in place to add radiance and strength to any project. 50g/459 yds. (72% brushed superkid mohair, 28% mulberry silk)

Shangri-La Lace

Shangri-La is an extraordinary blend of extra and ultra fine Australian merino and mulberry silk. This is a luxury fiber with an exceptionally soft and silky handle, worsted spun to reduce pilling.

Wayfarer Fingering and DK

Wayfarer is a blend of superwash extra fine merino with a touch of cashmere for softness and loft and a dash of nylon for strength. This yarn is perfect for any garment including sweaters and shawls as well as socks.

The ethical sourcing of our fiber is very important to us. We source all of our Australian merino fiber from farms where high standards of animal welfare are required and animal husbandry practices ensure the basic physiological and behavioral needs of the sheep are met.
