Laceweight, gauge is variable. Single strand on US#5 needle is 4-1/2 st per inch (blocked lace). Triple strand on US#9 needle is 4 st per inch.

Hand wash cool water, dry flat. Should be colorfast.

Gauge is variable.

Can be knitted with one strand for lacy or thin solidly knit shawls/cowls/scarves or garments which would require layering with a camisole or similar type of layer.
-or-
Can be knitted with three strands of this yarn and any combination of it with other Delicato yarns or other lace weight yarns and it gives a beautiful fabric for garments and shawls - heavy enough to not be see-through, but with a wonderful drape if a size 6-8 needle is used.

The Southern Grace palette was designed for and sold exclusively at McNeedles in Lacombe, Louisiana.
