Details and benefits

🌿 GRAND SURI SILK — 74% Baby Suri Alpaca / 26% Silk

Ideal for:

  • Fluffy and enveloping sweaters and cardigans
  • Shawls and stoles with a soft, cloud-like finish
  • Lightweight pieces with more volume and presence
  • Knitting on its own to fully enjoy its generous halo
  • Combining with other yarns to add softness, warmth, and texture

Benefits:

Ultra-soft and cloud-like– extremely soft when knitted

Delicate and generous halo– its thicker yardage than the Petit Suri gives it more presence

Fluffy and enveloping– ideal for creating pieces that are light but visually voluminous

Versatile– magnificent on its own but also very interesting when combined with another base

Grade A Mulberry Silk– provides softness, drape, and a subtle luminosity

Beautiful dye results– colors diffuse with a characteristic watercolor effect

Bath and photos

If we have the required quantity of skeins from the same dye bath, your order will be prepared and shipped as normal. However, online stock may come from different dye baths. In this case, we do not mix the batches: we re-dye them to ensure better color consistency. Please note that in this case, shipping may take up to 2 weeks maximum.

Our skeins are guaranteed to come from the same bath for the same color up to a maximum of 6 units, depending on the vat capacity and the type of wool. Beyond this quantity, your skeins may come from several baths, but they will always be dyed together during the same session to ensure the best possible uniformity.

Each yarn is hand-dyed in my studio in small batches of 6, allowing for rigorous control at every stage and resulting in intense, semi-solid shades. Each batch is completely exhausted, and each skein is carefully checked and reshaped. For projects requiring long lengths, alternating skeins is recommended to harmonize shades. For pre-orders, all skeins are dyed together in the same batch.

Remember to allow enough for your project to obtain a uniform result.


The yarn photos are carefully taken and edited to best reflect the colors, in natural light and on a Retina display. Despite this precision, slight variations may appear depending on the screen and lighting conditions.

Advice and interviews

Some highly saturated colors, especially yellows and reds, may cause the wash water to run slightly cloudy, but this does not affect the quality of the yarn. A little white vinegar in the soaking water can prevent this effect. We wash and rinse each yarn thoroughly, but dark or highly saturated shades may run slightly.

It is recommended to wash your items in cold water with a mild or special wool soap.

Softness, volume, halo

GRAND SURI SOIE is an incredibly soft and airy yarn, made of 74% Baby Suri Alpaca and 26% mulberry silk.

With its generous and silky halo, it is a magnificent alternative to mohair. Baby Suri brings softness, warmth and a fluffy effect, while silk provides fineness and luminosity.

Thicker than PETIT SURI SOIE, GRAND SURI SOIE has more body while retaining the lightness characteristic of fluffy yarns. It can be knitted alone to create a light and enveloping fabric, or combined with another yarn to add volume, softness and halo.

Features:

  • Composition: 74% Baby Suri Alpaca and 26% Grade A Mulberry Silk
  • Format: 300 m – 50 g
  • Type: Lace – Non-Superwash
  • Baby Suri fineness: 22.5 microns
  • Needles:
    • Alone: from 3.25 mm for a light and airy result; the size can be increased depending on the desired effect
    • Combined with a Lace, fingering or DK yarn: adapt the needles to the project's gauge; GRAND SURI SOIE then provides a soft and enveloping halo
  • Dyeing: Hand-dyed in my studio
  • Pattern using it: Miami Sweater

💫 A fluffy, extremely soft and enveloping yarn, which brings a magnificent halo to your creations while remaining light.

New colors and quantities are added regularly.

My opinion: GRAND SURI SOIE is ideal if you like the airy effect of PETIT SURI but are looking for a thicker and more generous yarn. Once knitted, it develops a delicate halo and a particularly soft fabric.

Good to know: this base reacts in a particular way to dyeing: the colors can take on a softer, more watercolor effect, and speckles tend to diffuse more. This is a characteristic of this base and not a defect.
