Shine, strength, softness, it's the same as BFL Imperial Fingering, but here in a Lace weight. It allows you to knit super-fine projects like thermal underwear or spidery scarves, but it's also very interesting for use as a "double strand" with merino wool, for those who can't tolerate the feel of mohair or don't want a fuzzy halo. It allows you to achieve the desired weight without having to recalculate your project and adds a thousand nuances to the main yarn, which it twists and adds its color irregularly, just like mohair yarn. A really interesting use!

As for dyeing, it takes colors gently and spreads them rather than separating them; the colors take on a more blended than contrasting appearance.
