In Italy Fino is a word used to describe the finest sherry available from the vineyard. This laceweight yarn is a perfect blend of baby alpaca & silk, which lends a luxurious handle, a dramatic lustrous sheen, & an elegant drape. When used as a single strand, it creates light-as-air, gossamer garments & breathtaking lace effects in shawls & stoles. Knit 2 or 3 strands together for sleek & supple mid-weight fabrics.
