Balyage's 80/20 baby alpaca and extrafine merino blend creates a very subtle grey mottling, and is soft enough for next-to-skin wear. The baby alpaca contributes a natural warmth that's disproportionate to its weight.
Balayage is perfect for shawls and scarves. It also lends itself beautifully for sweaters and cardigans. Its fine stitch definition is ideal for cables, lace and colourwork such as Fair Isle.
The mixture of delicate baby alpaca and fine merino wool makes Balayage a yarn that is soft and gentle on the skin. It can be worn by those with the most sensitive skin and is also suitable for babies and children.
bold, dramatic, and happiest in the spotlight
Balayage is a yarn that we would categorize as a diva. Some yarns are happy to support the pattern. This one prefers to be the star. Diva yarns bring luxurious fibres, bold colours, and textures that practically demand attention: perfect when you want your project to make an entrance.
Divas shine brightest when they’re given room to perform. Simple stitches and minimal colourwork let their character take the spotlight. They can handle more complicated patterns but rarely need them. Swatch carefully and follow laundering instructions to keep your star in top form.
