With more yardage than type 49041, this is a light delicate lace with a warm cream base colour. The yarn takes the dye nicely and colours appear soft and muted. We prefer this yarn for lace knitting to the version with less yardage, as it blocks out really nicely giving an open texture. This is the perfect yarn for a summer shawl.
