Beekeeper’s Secret by Melanie Berg
mYak RaKu Fiocco di Cashmere Lace,
color Zabaione
Spun from 100% ethically sourced Tibetan cashmere, RaKu Fiocco di Cashmere Lace is a true luxury yarn. Sourced from the spring combing of Tibetan cashmere goats, the fiber has a micron count of 14.5 micron, making it one of the softest cashmere yarns for hand knitting.
The lace weight yarn is wonderful to work with & even more lovely to wear. Knit single-stranded for light, airy pieces, hold double for a bit more substance or combine with another favorite yarn.
The sophisticated palette of colorways are perfect for a special weekend away or relaxing next to a cozy fire.
Beekeeper’s Secret by Melanie Berg is a gorgeous statement shawl knit in this special yarn. The body of the shawl consists of ethereal swaths of lace & textured stripes bordered with more lace. Engaging to knit, the main body of the shawl is knit first, with the lace border picked up & knit at the end.
