What a pairing of fibers! What a scrumpteous yarn! And (not wanting to be crass, but . . .) what a price! Here is a yarn spun of the worlds finest Alpaca and softest wool - the lace you can make from Suri Blue will by definition be heirloom quality right off the needles. This is a luxury yarn with the softness, strength and beauty that you would expect for Suri Alpaca and Blue Face Leicester. The fact that the price doesn't reflect the quality is a mystery we can all just enjoy. Thank you, Fleece Artist, for another amazing yarn!
