Midnight Sun from CaMaRose is an exclusive blend of 54% Baby Alpaca. 10% Merino wool (mulesing free). and 36% Tencel/lyocell.
Tencel/lyocell is the fine thread that holds the fibers together in Midnatssol. Tencel/lyocell consists of the unique fiber composition of beech trees and eucalyptus which makes tencel/lyocell really comfortable to wear. Tencel/lyocell has a good absorbency. which means that it absorbs moisture and quickly releases it again. Tencel/lyocell is the most sustainable fiber available.
Midnight Sun is perfect as a companion thread with other CaMaRose qualities such as Pima cotton, Thin Lama wool, Organic summer wool and Snowflake.
Midnight Sun is a really nice substitute for a mohair follower thread.
Midnight Sun is particularly suitable for sweaters, cardigans, shawls, hats, baby and children's knitwear in one thread but also with several threads for chunky sweaters and cardigans.
