Halo Waterecolors is a lace weight brushed Suri Alpaca. This is like our luxurious Halo, but in 5 new handdyed watercolor hues.

While it looks like mohair, it has an amazing softness with none of the itchy-ness that you might find in mohair. Suri alpaca is very rare and very lustrous and is perfect for lacy projects. Each 25g ball contains an amazing 257 yards. You can achieve a wide range of gauges on a US #4-8 needle and beyond.
