All about Miss Babs Yearning
The team at Miss Babs refers to Yearning as a 'rustic' lace yarn, even though it's a sophisticated merino and silk blend. With a blend of merino wool and tussah silk, Yet has a soft and gorgeously drapey handle and a lovely sheen.
Somewhere between a true laceweight and a fingering weight, the slightly heavier weight of this yarn means it's easy to work with, especially for newer lace knitters. Unlike other silk blends, Yearning is not at all slippery to use.
With so much meterage, just one skein will be enough for a short sleeved top or a large shawl! Yearning wears well and continues to look good year after year. It's absolutely delicious in shawls and scarves as well as lightweight tops and sweaters.
