Shibui Knits Maai

Baby alpaca and merino blend fingering weight with supreme softness.

What is Maai?

Shibui Knits Maai is a super fine from Shibui Knits. Composition: 70% superbaby alpaca / 30% fine merino. One skein holds 250 m of yarn and weighs 50 g.

How the yarn behaves

Brushed alpaca-merino blend — soft halo, gentle warmth, fluid drape. The fluff sits on top of the yarn rather than throughout, so it blocks open and keeps shape better than mohair laceweights. Strong fit for haloed shawls, cocoon cardigans and lightly fluffy sweaters. Hand wash cool and dry flat; brush gently to revive the halo after wear.
