Lucia - Alpaca/Silk/Wool/Yak

Lucia is a perfect alternative to silk mohair. 

The yarn is thin and feathery light, it does not shed, but adds a luxurious touch to your knitwear.

Holst Garn Lucia is a exquisite blend of 42% Baby Alpaca, 35% Mulberry Silk, 13% Merino Wool and 10% Yak.

We recommend Lucia as a companion thread to our other yarns: Supersoft, Coast, Tides, Haya and Titicaca. You can also knit it on its own in 1 or several threads for light and airy knitwear.

• Lucia is available in 25 g balls
• Yardage: Approx. 200 meters/219 yards per 25 g
• Hand washing is recommended.

Indicative knitting gauges:

• 1 thread at needles 3-3½ mm/US 2-3  (Approx. 23 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches)
• 2 threads at needles 4-4½ mm/US 6-7 (Approx. 20 stitches = 10 cm/4 inches)
• When you use Holst Garn Lucia with another yarn, 1 thread will add approx. ½ a size to your knitting needles. If you usually knit for instance Coast at needles 3 mm/US 3 - Coast and Lucia knit together will fit a size 3½ mm/US 4.
