It is made with one strand of Lion 1878 (100% wool) – or equivalent, such as Sockotta or Happy Feet (both are wool blends, NOT 100% wool) – and one strand of lace weight, which is 50/50 merino/alpaca. Samples shown at right are made with Lion 1878 ‘natural’ mixed with ‘black’ lace weight on left, mixed with ‘cypress’ lace weight on right. Lion 1878 ‘charcoal’ is a good choice.
Yarns:
Lion 1878 is 100% wool in fingering weight and available in 8 colors – comes on a cone and has 2045 yards.
