    "It is the closest thing to Antique Irish Lace we have ever seen", lace knitters say. "Best lace yarn ever", others comment after having tried our soft fine Icelandic lamb lace weight yarns. Crisp enough to hold that pattern and soft enough to wear next to your skin.

    It takes 8 to 16 ounces to make a shawl. 3370 yards per pound, 2 ply in approximately 8 ounce skeins, available in 2 natural colors, creamy white and light bluish grey.

    Soft enough to wear and crisp and bouncy enough to hold the pattern well. Elegant, with a soft luster. The Perfect yarn for gossamer shawls, collar trim, stoles, scarves, shrugs, dressy evening wear.

Maggie's comments: "I got some of the mohair mix last year, and the finished shawl is a delight. Like in most photos it's hard to see how great a shawl is. But this one is really great.¨
