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, lightness, halo

PETIT SURI SOIE is an exceptionally soft yarn, composed of 65% Baby Suri Alpaca and 35% silk.

A delicate alternative to mohair, Baby Suri offers a soft, silky, and ethereal halo, while bringing warmth and lightness to your creations. The silk, which forms the core of the yarn, provides fineness and luminosity.

Its brushed texture creates an airy and slightly downy finish. It can be knitted alone for a lightweight project or combined with another yarn to add softness, warmth, and halo. Particularly suitable for use as a carry-along yarn. 

Features:

  • Composition: 65% Baby Suri Alpaca – 35% silk
  • Format: 400 m – 50 g
  • Type: Lace – Non-Superwash
  • Baby Suri Fineness: 22.5 microns
  • Recommended needle size:
    • Alone: from 3 mm for a light and ethereal finish; the size can be increased depending on the desired effect
    • Combined with a fingering or DK yarn: adjust needles to the project's gauge; PETIT SURI SOIE then provides a soft and enveloping halo
  • Dyeing: Hand-dyed in my studio

💫 An extremely soft, airy, and silky yarn, ideal for adding a delicate halo to your knits, without using mohair.

New colors and quantities are added regularly.

My opinion: PETIT SURI is a very beautiful alternative to mohair, especially if you are looking for a softer and silkier halo. Baby Suri gives a particularly enveloping feel and a beautiful drape, while the silk brings light to the yarn.

To know for colors: alpaca absorbs dye differently from merino and mohair. Colors may therefore appear softer and slightly muted, with a very beautiful watercolor effect.
