Our “ Golden ” wool is known for its softness and lightness! Often added to add a touch of warmth, this little wool is ideal for toques, sweaters and shawls. It can easily be added to a “fingering” strand to increase the softness and warmth of our knitting. It is also possible to use it alone to make a chic, lightweight lace shawl.

This beautiful wool is made from suri alpaca. The Suri alpaca represents only 5% of the world's alpaca herd. Much rarer than the Huacaya alpaca, Suris are distinguished by their soft, silky, fine and very long fiber. Suri also differs from Huacaya because of its lustrous, straight fiber that hangs downward, like our hair.
