• The Brand

• Mulberry Silk + Baby Alpaca + Merino. AMELIE is the most luxurious, softest and lightest yarn in the world. It is impossible to describe it in mere words.

  Amelie’s extremely light and beautiful texture is the result combining three premium fibers using a new technology which blows light tubes of yarn instead of twists. 

  We stock every single colour, including the brand new RED, ORANGE and PURPLE!

  We couldn’t say it better than mathemaknitter on Ravelry:

  “This is one of the most gorgeous yarns I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve had the luxury of being able to afford whatever yarn I want, so I have worked with some fabulous cashmere and cashmere blends and lots of silk.
  
  The yardage is also pretty fabulous for something that knits up at an aran-weight, so you will find that it’s not so expensive (by meterage) and it makes a gorgeously light and drapey garment.
  
  And this yarn totally deserves to be a next-to-skin garment. If you wear it by itself, it’s light and breathable and lovely, and if you need to be extra-warm, a light coat over it will keep you thoroughly warm. :)”
