Item Description
This lot is a gorgeous skein of Suri Decadence yarn in Grass Green from Salt River Mills, along with a perfect scarf pattern. The yarn's name really says it all - incredibly soft, beautifully crafted, and hand dyed. Our Suri Decadence yarns come in two styles - choose from a 90/10 Suri/German Angora blend (our Angora is grown in the USA), or a 90/10 Suri/Muga Silk blend. Each of these blending fibers have been selected for their extreme fineness and rarity. Why blend anything but the best with our top-of-the-line fiber? You will receive a 100 gm/330 yd skein of the Suri/Angora three-ply blend.
What are the properties of suri yarn?
• Its drape and weight make it perfect for garments that drape rather than cling.
• Fine and open work garments are warm.
• Not as elastic as wool but more elastic than silk, cotton or bamboo.
• Suri blocks and holds its shape, that is it is resilient if it is not made of heavy yarn and not knit loosely.
How do I use my fine suri yarn? How do I find patterns?
• Suri — fine, lustrous, sound, consistent in handle and staple length is a luxury fiber.
• This yarn is ideally suited to shawls and scarves but also lace sweaters, christening bonnets and dresses, and wedding veils.
• Whether spun in a fine lace weight (250 yds/oz) or a light fingering (75 – 100 yds.oz) it should adapt easily to patterns for such garments. Attention to needle size is important.
• Go down a needle size or two from a pattern created for wool. Always check gauge!
• Patterns for silk and fine cotton should behave much the same as suri as these yarns do not have the elasticity of wool. Patterns for huacaya fall somewhere in between — not as elastic as wool, not as silky as suri or silk. So again, check the gauge.
What needles should I choose?
• For knitting suri yarn smooth wooden or bamboo needles are good; for lace projects addi lace needles are wonderful. As suri is a slippery yarn, the addi lace needles have just enough drag to hold the yarn on the needle and are still fast and addi lace needles now come in a full range of sizes.
• The size needle can very according to the project. The finer the needle the more stable the finished piece.
