Inspired by San in the film Princess Mononoke, this yarn is gorgeously soft and glossy making it perfect for lace knitting as well as for luxe accessories like socks and gloves. I made a Lacy Baktus using two balls of this yarn and it turned out wonderfully. The base yarn is Kertzer’s On Your Toes Bamboo.

December 2012: Unfortunately I have had to discontinue this amazing yarn because the manufacturer went out of business.
