The super-soft alternative to mohair for lined or textured sweaters, if you can't tolerate mohair (but have you tried ours, it's incredibly soft?). Suri gives knits a thicker, fluffier feel and has less of a hazy sheen than mohair.

It's a very warm and insulating fiber. As for dyeing, this yarn takes colors gently and tends to blend them rather than separate them, resulting in a more "melted" rather than contrasting appearance.
