Lichtfaden Alpaca Silk Linen Fingering Yarn, Purple Seas

Two skeins of Lichtfaden’s Edition Alpaca Silk Linen Fingering in Purple Seas — a deep violet washing through ocean-teal, with the soft halo of alpaca and the quiet sheen of silk over a linen core. 874 yards across the pair, both from the same hand-dye: shawl, summer top, or a small textured cardi.

This listing is for 1 skein of Lichtfaden Edition Alpaca Silk Linen Fingering in color Purple Seas. 2 available.

About Lichtfaden Edition Alpaca Silk Linen:

Lichtfaden is a small German hand-dye studio (label reads fine hand-dyed) working across luxury silk and silk-blend bases. The Edition line widens the palette into alpaca-silk-linen, dyed with the same painterly gradient sensibility — Purple Seas is one of the more saturated ones, a deep violet drifting into ocean teal that reads tonal in some lights and dramatic in others.
