• Creates a wonderfully airy, weightless, and warm fabric.
• Its exceptional quality and refined versatility make it ideal for delicate layering pieces and adding loft to other yarns.

🧶 Recommended Uses:
• Perfect for knitting and crocheting ethereal shawls, scarves, and delicate lace projects where lightness is key.
• Excellent for holding alongside another yarn (e.g., fingering or DK) to add warmth, halo, and a subtle color shift.
• Lightweight sweaters and cardigans that drape beautifully.
• FOR WEAVERS: This yarn is an exceptional choice for weft (the horizontal yarn). Its light weight, extreme yardage, and intense halo are ideal for creating luxurious, lightweight, and warm fabric with a brushed texture. It is not recommended for warp due to its delicate structure.

🧶 Recommended Needles & Hooks (Based on 3-Ply Knitting/Fingering Weight):
• For knitting with this yarn alone (creating a Fingering weight), we recommend 2.5–3.5 mm (US 1.5–4) needles. The general gauge is 24–28 stitches per 4 inches (10 cm) in stockinette stitch. Use the smaller end of the range (2.5mm) for a denser, more structured fabric, and the larger end (3.5mm) for a softer, loftier drape.
• For crochet, use hooks in the range of 2.5–3.5 mm (C-2 to E-4).

📍 Please note:
Once knit, it should be washed to reveal its true softness. This yarn is perfect for both hand and machine knitting, highly recommended for creating premium-quality knitwear.

📏 Recommended Yarn Usage:
• Large Shawl/Wrap: 100–150g (1–1.5 balls)
• Light Sweater (Lace Weight): 200g (2 balls)
• Used as an accent/held double: 50g (0.5 ball)

🧶 Care Instructions:
• Hand wash gently in cool water with mild, silk-safe detergent
• Do not wring or twist
• Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight

📸 Please Note
• HAND DYED: Each skein is hand-dyed, so variations in color may occur between batches. Be sure to purchase enough for your entire project, as this is a limited collection. We recommend alternating skeins every two rows for the most harmonious color blend.
• Colors are photographed in natural lighting but may appear slightly different depending on your screen settings. I recommend zooming in on each photo to appreciate the beauty and texture of the yarn.
• Each ball is wound with care and packed securely to ensure it reaches you in perfect condition.
• Limited Edition: Available while supplies last.
