Lissom is a true laceweight yarn, with fantastic lustre and drape, thanks to the tencel component. It knits up into a light, liquid fabric and holds stitches very cleanly on blocking.

A single skein is ideal for scarves and shawlettes; for larger projects, it’s worth knowing that I always dye at least two skeins in each dye batch, and often four, so there will often be at least one more available.

Handwash or gentle machine wash (it is superwash, so will not felt. However, the luster will be lost due to pilling if subjected to repeated rough washings).
