Bramble Ridge: Suri Alpaca Lace
SURI ALPACA LACE IS ONE OF MY BEST-SELLING YARNS! EACH SKEIN HAS APPROXIMATELY 420M /459YD AND IS A SOFT AND FUZZY ALTERNATIVE TO MOHAIR THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE AS ITCHY FOR MOST PEOPLE. OFTEN, SURI-BASED YARNS ARE SLIGHTLY THICKER, BUT THE BASE I CARRY IS ALMOST A PERFECT SUBSTITUTE FOR MOHAIR, WHICH IS A FIBRE USED OFTEN BY POPULAR DESIGNERS. THIS MEANS YOUR GAUGE CAN STAY CLOSER TO THE ORIGINAL PATTERN GAUGE. PLUS, SURI IS UNBELIEVABLY SOFT AND WARM.
Fibre Content: 75% Baby Suri, 25% Silk
Weight/Yardage: 100 grams = 459 yds / 420m
Yarn Weight: Lace
Yarn Texture: Single Ply
Care: Hand-wash in cool water using a wool-specific wash. Dry flat.
Made in Canada
EACH SKEIN OF YARN OR BRAID OF FIBRE IS HAND-DYED WITH CARE AND STORED IN MY SMOKE-FREE AND PET-FRIENDLY HOME (ALTHOUGH THE DOGS AREN’T WELCOME IN MY DYE DUNGEON!).
HIGH QUALITY ACID DYES ARE USED AND ARE RINSED IN ORDER TO PREVENT BLEEDING OF COLOUR, HOWEVER SOME COLOURS MAY LEECH SLIGHTLY. TO AVOID THIS I RECOMMEND USING COLD TO ROOM TEMPERATURE WATER WITH A WOOL WASH SUCH AS SOAK OR EUCALAN IN ORDER TO PREVENT TRANSFER OF COLOUR. I RECOMMEND HAND WASHING ALL KNITTED ITEMS IN ORDER TO PROLONG THEIR LIFE AND COLOUR.
EACH SKEIN OR BRAID OF FIBRE IS CREATED BY ME, AND AS SUCH THERE MAY BE SMALL VARIATIONS BETWEEN SKEINS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND ALTERNATING SKEINS FOR LARGER PROJECTS, SUCH AS SWEATERS, IN ORDER TO AVOID COLOUR POOLING.
ALL PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN PHOTOGRAPHED IN NATURAL LIGHT TO GIVE YOU THE MOST ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF COLOURS, BUT PLEASE BE AWARE THAT SCREENS CAN DIFFER SLIGHTLY. I CANNOT GUARANTEE THAT YOUR DEVICE'S DISPLAY OF ANY COLOUR WILL BE EXACTLY AS SEEN BY EYE. IF YOU REQUIRE FURTHER IMAGES OF ANY SKEINS BEFORE PURCHASE, PLEASE LET ME KNOW, I’D BE HAPPY TO HELP!

ABOUT THE DYER
HI, I'M MEAGHAN!
I STARTED KNITTING WHEN MY TWIN BOYS WERE YOUNG - THEY NEEDED HATS AND I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN CREATIVE, SO I THOUGHT I'D JUST MAKE THEM! 8 YEARS, ANOTHER SON, AND MANY PROJECTS (AND AMAZING SKEINS OF HAND DYED YARN BY AMAZING DYERS!) LATER, I DECIDED THAT DYEING YARN WOULD BE MY NEXT VENTURE.
I'M MOST INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL WORLD, AND WHEN I'M NOT DYEING YARN I LOVE TO SPEND TIME OUTSIDE WITH MY 3 ROWDY BOYS AND MY HUSBAND. HIKING, CAMPING, EXPLORING, PHOTOGRAPHY, BEACHCOMBING, I'M UP FOR IT!
