Holst Garn Lucia
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.
