Kauni, the lace yarn.
knitting_keeps_me_sane, 00:43h
The makers of Kauni also make other yarns - like a solid, 90% wool, 10% acrylic yarn, both in 300m/100g, and 300m/50g.
The softness and whiteness that it Kauni One-ply Lace
The yarn is very soft, almost merino-soft.
It is not plied very tightly, but seems to hold up well and I would not suspect it to begin to pill. Not that pilling is that common a problem with lace shawls, anyways :-)
It has a nice stitch definition, and "fills" in a pattern nicely, as I knit it on US8/5mm needles, but still it feels and looks good.
The colour does not get dirty easily, and the resulting fabric is a dream of softness. This is so nice to touch and look at, I am really in love :-)
Progress
I am at around 60 rounds of the shawl. That would be around half of the circumference needed before adding the (very wide) border. This is not enough to warrant a new picture, though.
It is so lovely, and I enjoy it so much to sit down outside and knit until late in the night here in the warm august nights :-)
have a really nice day
