Description

Mayflower Elba is spun on wonderfully soft, brushed Suri alpaca. The fibers from the Suri alpaca make Elba an extraordinarily soft and airy lace yarn with a fluffy structure. 

Knitted or crocheted alone, Elba becomes feather-light, and with 2 or more threads together, the result is full and cozy. The soft Elba is also ideal as a companion thread together with, for example, wool. Compared to silk mohair, Elba does not shed like the smooth mohair fiber can. Therefore, Elba can be a fantastic alternative to Super Kid Silk - and it is more affordable.

    I stedet for mohair

    Jeg bruger Elba i stedet for mohair til et mohair strikkemønster, og det ser ud til at være fantastisk! Så endelig har jeg fundet et alternativ til mohairgarn, der ikke klør så meget som mohair.

    Mega lækkert

    Garnet er meget behagelig at strikke med og selv om det er lidt fluffy filtrer det ikke

    Super blød

    Som altid var leveringen meget hurtig, garnet er superblødt, du skal bare strikke præcist gennem fibrene, da ribning er meget vanskelig.

The wool from alpaca is generally much softer and warmer than sheep wool, which makes Alpaca yarn very popular. The fine fibers with insulating air pockets provide a warm yarn with high breathability. Suri alpaca is also the softest alpaca fiber, which makes Elba an exceptionally soft yarn quality. The yarn feels comfortable both to work with and to have close to the skin. It is light and airy and has a matte sheen, and the velvety soft alpaca fibers give a lovely texture. Polyamide holds the fine fibers together and adds high durability without compromising comfort.

Elba can be a fantastic alternative to silk mohair in Mayflower Super Kid Silk, as Elba has even finer and softer fibers. You can replace Super Kid Silk with Elba 1:1 and use the yarn for the many Patterns and designs that are made for the other yarn. However, always remember to make a swatch and wash it according to the instructions before starting your project. Also, be aware that Elba is a brushed Alpaca yarn and is therefore more subdued and matte on the surface than Super Kid Silk, which instead has a glossy sheen.

Elba has a lovely long running length, so you don't need many skeins for, for example, a sweater. The yarn is fantastic for soft clothing such as sweaters and cardigans, as well as accessories like hats, shawls, etc. With one strand of the thin lace yarn, projects like shawls and thin blouses become really light and airy. Depending on the density you want, you can use anything from needle/hook 3-5 mm. If you want more volume, you can knit or crochet with 2, 3, or more strands of Elba together and still achieve a light and airy result.

Fantastic experience.
Completely painless experience buying yarn from Mayflower. My order was sent off super quickly and I already had my package the next day. It was extremely great, as I needed it as a gift!

Kristian

Good experience in the webshop and great handling of complaints. In March, I bought a lot of yarn skeins in the webshop. Super fast delivery and very nice quality yarn: Cotton Merino.

Mette

I bought a lot of yarn from the webshop after getting really good guidance over the phone. The yarn was really good. The problem was the delivery with dao, which did not live up to what was ordered. I wrote to mayflower to make them aware of it, and was called by the nicest Lady, who was happy for the feedback and compensated my wasted delivery costs. That's what I call really good customer service.
