Lace Weight Yarn UK
Lace weight is one of the finest weights of yarn available for handknitting. This yarn can be used alone to create intricate lace designs, or held alongside another yarn for a unique marled effect.
Using lace yarn alongside another yarn
Sometimes pattern will call for you two use two strands of the same lace weight yarn. When using two different colours, this is normally done to create a unique marled affect. If two strands of the same colourway are called for, this is normally to achieve a unique drape or texture in the finished piece.
It’s also very popular now to combine a strand of lace weight mohair or alpaca alongside a thicker strand of yarn. This creates a fuzzy halo effect that can really add something special to your knits.
