Suri is the soft, matte sibling of the more well known Mohair! With its soft brushed alpaca fiber around a lustrous silk core, Suri is the perfect supporting act held with another yarn to add dimension and texture or used solo with a wide range of needle sizes to create a light, airy fabric. Hue Loco Suri has a wonderful watercolor-like effect when dyed so speckles and pours become more fluid and painterly on this base. This cozy base will provide any project with a luxurious halo similar to that of Mohair but with the slightly softer hand that alpaca is known for, making it the perfect option for those with sensitive skin!
Note Worthy:
- Suri is a wonderful alternative to mohair for those who find mohair itchy to their skin!
- Darker colors tend to read lighter on this base, so make sure you love your chosen colorway just as much on Suri!
- Suri has a matte finish as opposed to its counterpart Mohair
