Merino Lace Cape Carnival

US$28.00

Fine, light and super soft our Merino Lace Single knits and crochets like a dream. If you’re not comfortable working with lace yarns then try combining it with one of our Kidsilk colours for a fingering weight combination. And blend different colours for gorgeous painterly, tweedy effects.

Cape Carnival is an annual event on January 2nd where the city bursts into colour, music, singing, dancing and parades. The occasion is rooted in the slave history of Cape Town when slaves were allowed only a single day off work in the year and they used the opportunity to celebrate. And so the city does too! To find some matching solid colours try one of the colour ingredients: Chilli Pepper, Hot Pink, Aubergine, Camps Bay, Olive, Lemon, Guinea Fowl.
