What is Laceweight?

Artesano Laceweight is a lace from Artesano. Composition: 100% superfine alpaca. One skein holds 400 m of yarn and weighs 50 g.

How the yarn behaves

Fine alpaca-based laceweight — soft, warm and feather-light, with the subtle halo alpaca develops after blocking. Drapes heavily; minimal memory. Strong fit for lace shawls, stoles, light wraps and openwork tops where flow and a soft halo matter more than structure. Hand wash cool and block wet to bring out lace patterns. Can be held doubled for fingering-weight projects.
