With the wonderfully versatile worsted-weight gauge, "Silky Flamme" yarn by Elsebeth Lavold is both functional & beautiful. Superbly crafted in Peru of 50% Peruvian wool, 30% alpaca & 20% silk, "Silky Flamme" is constructed of an untwisted core strand wrapped by a lovely thick & thin ply for added texture & variety. The high dose of silk gives a lovely sheen, while the alpaca & wool give you softness & warmth. Ideal for knitting sweaters, gloves, bags, jackets, hats & more whether they're in the simple garter stitch or intricate cables.
