100% Wild Vicuña Knitting Yarn (3/16)

The most luxurious knitting yarn on the market. Spun for us in Italy from 100% pure wild vicuña fiber, this fingering-weight yarn is warm, elegant, and soft as a cloud. It comes from the same Italian mill that supplies the haute couture fashion houses, but this triple-ply, fingering weight yarn is a custom product spun just for us. It is the thickest, fluffiest vicuña yarn available anywhere. It has the warm cinnamon hue of natural vicuña and an unbelievably soft hand. It will produce scarves, hats, gloves, and shawls of unparalleled luxury. The mill recommends a 3 mm needle for knitting; for weaving, we suggest a tabby sett at 15 ends per inch.
