Lambkin is a fluffy wool and alpaca bouclé yarn resulting in a fabric that resembles a lamb's sheepy fleece. Little loops of wool gallop along the yarn creating a bouncy fabric that is fun (and warm) to knit and wear. This is a thick yarn. Knit it on a size US 9 needle for a denser fabric, or a size 11 for a looser fabric. Both ways, this yarn works up quickly and within just a few days your accessory or garment will be ready to wear.
Add a strand of silk mohair Frond for that special silky shine. Or stripe it with our other favorite bulky yarn: Bun.
