The Best Lace Yarn for Delicate Textiles and Garments

Lace yarns are extremely fine yarns with a knitting gauge approximately eight-plus stitches per inch. Usually lace yarn is used with large knitting needles or crochet hooks for open, lacy patterns, ideal for summer wraps and delicate textile art. Lace yarns may be doubled up for patterns recommending finger-weight yarn, and using two different colors creates beautiful effects. These yarns should be treated gently and are ideal for elegant, lacy fiber art.
