Holst Garn Lucia (baby alpaca/mulberry silk/merino wool/yak)

Holst Garn Lucia – Light as Air, Soft as a Whisper

Lucia is Holst Garn’s elegant answer to silk mohair - feathery light, beautifully soft, and with none of the shedding. This delicate yarn adds a refined, luxurious touch to knitwear while remaining gentle and wearable, making it a favourite for those who love softness without fuzz.

Spun from an exquisite blend of baby alpaca, mulberry silk, merino wool, and yak, Lucia has a subtle halo and a graceful drape that elevates any project. It shines especially as a companion thread, pairing effortlessly with Holst Garn bases such as Supersoft, Coast, Tides, Haya, and Titicaca, adding warmth, softness, and depth without weight.

Lucia can also be knit on its own - single or held double - to create light, airy garments with an elegant, floating quality. Whether used as an accent or the star of the show, it brings quiet sophistication to every stitch.

Why You’ll Love It:
✔ A perfect non-shedding alternative to silk mohair
✔ Feather-light with a soft, luxurious feel
✔ Beautiful as a companion yarn or on its own
✔ Adds warmth, softness, and gentle halo without bulk
✔ Ideal for lightweight garments and delicate layers
