Purl Soho Tussock - Lot of 2 Skeins

Named after long, untamed tufts of grass, Purl Soho Tussock embodies bundles of pure joy! Crafted in Japan, Tussock yarn is a luxurious blend of 60% super fine kid mohair and 40% mulberry silk, perfect for absorbing vibrant colors and reflecting nuanced tones. Super fine kid mohair, sourced from the initial shearing of Angora goats, is exceptionally soft, imparting warmth and structure to the yarn. The mulberry silk noil, derived from the finest silk fibers, enhances Tussock with its luster, strength, and elegance.

Technically classified as a fine laceweight, Tussock blooms beautifully when knit, making it ideal for use as a fingering weight yarn with US 3-6 needles. Whether used singly for a delicate touch or in combinations of two or three strands to create a watercolor-like marled effect, Tussock offers endless creative possibilities. It also complements other yarns wonderfully, adding volume to companions or introducing unexpected textures.

The mohair used in Tussock originates from South Africa and adheres to the Responsible Mohair Standard, a stringent certification that promotes sustainable land management and ethical treatment of goats.
