LUSSO is a superlight lace-weight yarn consisting of fine merino, silk, baby camel hair and super kid mohair. The baby camel hair component gives the yarn a wonderful softness and lovely volume. The camel hair originates in Asia. For hand-knitting yarns the down, the so-called undercoat, is used. In spring, this hair falls out in clumps, when the animals shed their coat. The downy hair is fine and crimped, distinctive for its softness, sheen and thermal qualities. You will be entranced by this especially fine quality.

We set out to find the finest and most beautiful mohair. In South Africa we found the highest quality. This is determined by how fine it is (diameter) and the length of the hairs. For LANGYARNS LACE we only use fibres with a diameter of less than twenty five thousandths of a millimetre. To ply with it we use high quality silk.
