Wool Candy

I have a new yarn to share with you.

This is Souffle Fingering weight. It’s the same composition as my Souffle Lace: 70% Baby Alpaca, 20% Silk, 10% Cashmere, but in a lofty, loose 2-ply fingering weight. Each 3.5 oz/ 100g skein has 400 yards/ 366m.

Souffle Fingering in "Ferrous"

This stuff is, in a word, delicious. It’s my new favorite yarn of all time. No joke.

I’m knitting an Aeolian Shawl out of it (in Brassica, pics later) and it’s like knitting with clouds of butter. Or marshmallows. Or kittens and puppies. Or (insert your favorite soft fluffy thing here).

The alpaca gives it an incredible, soft halo. The silk gives it sturdiness and lovely shine. The cashmere does what cashmere does best — makes it unbelievably soft and luxurious.

I’m offering it in seven completely new colorways. I’ve been super into semi-solids lately. These are all dimensional semi-solids, layered like all of my colors, non-pooling like all of my colors.

I have 2 of each color in the shop, except for Brassica — I kept one of those for myself.

400 yards will make a small shawl, a little shrug, or a long scarf.

This is fingering weight — about 8-10 stitches/inch on a size 0-2, but I wouldn’t recommend it for socks, except possibly the softest, coziest bed socks ever. None of these fibers has much “memory”, so your socks would sag pretty quick, but they’ll be comfy when they do it! I’m knitting my shawl on size 6s, to give it drape, and it’s perfect. The alpaca-halo fills in the stitches wonderfully.

I hope you like Souffle Fingering as much as I do! And if you don’t? That’s okay — more for me!
