Elsebeth Lavold Angora Yarn is a wonderful blend of 60% Angora, 20% Wool and 20% polyamide. This blend allows the yarn to bloom with a soft angora halo, without the fuzzies that are common with 100% angora yarns. Each 50 gram skein has 83 m (91 yards) of pure softness. This yarn knits to a gauge of 17 sts per 4 inch (10 cm) on US recommended knitting needles #7 - 8. It is made in Argentina and the colors are very rich and perfect for any garment from coats and sweaters to hats and scarves.
