Laima

Laima is a favorite luxury workhorse yarn.  The yarn is named for the Baltic goddess of fate, Laima.  She is also in charge of luck and is especially important to mothers and pregnant women.  The Bluefaced Leicester is bouncy and shiny, while the silk adds more luster and  strength.  The tight ply makes this yarn ideal for things touching the skin; sweaters, heavier weight shawls, gloves, and hats.  The resulting fabric has a lovely drape, a high shine, and durability.  

Every color has its own fantastic recipe, but from skein to skein the color will vary, even within a dye lot.  That's the beauty of hand-dyed and hand painted yarn!  If you are not making a one skein wonder, please alternate skeins for the most consistent results.
