Golden Fleece (Fingering)

Golden Fleece is a yarn unlike any other - incredibly soft with a gorgeous shine, its halo and depth of color are truly unbelievable. This shaniko wool and cashmere blend transforms into lightweight garments and accessories that feel wonderful against the skin. The beautiful structure and unparalleled drape of this yarn make it a perfect choice for fashionable tops worn against the skin, elegant sweaters, and those truly special lacework shawl projects. Golden Fleece catches light and shows off texture beautifully, bringing some extra magic to your work. It's so difficult to put down while you're working with it, and even more difficult to take off once you wear it!
