Amelie is the most luxurious, softest and lightest yarn in the world. It is impossible to describe it with words. It’s extremely light weight and beautiful texture is the result of the combination of three fibers using a new technology.

We love this yarn so much that we made a free cowl pattern to go with it. Download it on Ravelry!

  • silk

    Silk is a natural protein fiber, produced by certain insect larvae when forming coccoons. The best known silk is obtained from the larvae of the mulberry silkworm. To produce 1 kg of silk, 104 kg of mulberry leaves must be eaten by 3000 silkworms. As a fibre, silk is smooth and soft, and it is one of the strongest natural fibres. It has excellent drape, but no elasticity the way that wool does.

  • alpaca

    Alpaca fiber is a natural, soft, and warm fiber that comes from the hair of alpacas. It's used to make a variety of clothing items, including sweaters, socks, and scarves. It is warmer than wool, and comes in 22 natural colours. It has excellent drape, and takes dye very well.

  • merino wool

    Merino sheep create a wool with a long, smooth fibre that is lightweight, warm, and soft. Like all wool, it has excellent breathability and does an excellent job regulating temperature in garments. It is a very popular type of wool to use for hand knitting yarn, and is a great choice for socks and garments worn close to the skin.
