Exceptionally soft, next-to-the-skin tweed dyed in slightly dusty, matte hues. Llama Silk is a 3-ply Z-twisted yarn with a tweed texture achieved by the tiny flecks of Noil Silk woven into each ply. The core yarn, spun from the fiber mix of wool and llama is dyed in soft, naturally sheen solids, and the colorful flecks - in contrast colour palette. Excellent yarn for accessories and all-purpose knits.
