Description

Because of the tape nature of this yarn, it does not play well with our electric winder and we recommend winding this by hand where you can have control of the tension on the yarn. We don’t want you to loose the very feature that makes this yarn so special by pulling the tape too tight.

Amelieis the most luxurious, softest and lightest yarn in the world. It is impossible to describe it with words. Its extremely light weight and it’s beautiful texture is the result of the combination of three fibersin a chainette technology that feels like cashmere.
