LILAC Hand Dyed on Suri Lace Cloud - Semi-Solid Yarn with Speckles jan19 I used the Quino CheckerspotLilac is a soft light purple with darker purple speckles and some tonal variation. It's one of my core semi solid colorways and goes with so many different variegated colorways. YARN BASE I dyed it on Suri Lace Cloud, which has all the delightful texture of fuzzy mohair yarn with none of the itch. It's made of baby suri alpaca and silk, and it has a wonderful halo. It can be used on its own or held double with another yarn. The yarn comes in 50 gram
