This lace-weight blend of 40% superfine alpaca, 40% kid mohair, and 20% polyamide delivers beautiful softness, warmth without heaviness, a fluffy halo, and long, smooth color transitions with no harsh breaks between shades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"785\" data-start=\"530\"\u003eI would confidently rate this yarn \u003cstrong data-end=\"593\" data-start=\"565\"\u003e9 out of 10 for softness\u003c\/strong\u003e.
