Amelie is a blown yarn: a construction where fibres are air-spun around a stabilizing core rather than twisted: and the result is something genuinely unusual: all the softness and halo you'd expect from silk and alpaca, but with stitch definition that most halo yarns can't offer. The silk core keeps your stitches readable while the alpaca and merino create a light, airy fabric with beautiful drape. Aran weight at just 50g, it's a luxury yarn best suited to garments and accessories where the fabric itself is the star.
