    • Santi II is a bulky chainette version of the ever-popular DK weight Santi! Another completely exquisite yarn by Illimani! 

      SANTI II is a perfect blend of four luxury fibres (ultra fine merino, baby alpaca, yak, mulberry silk). Beautiful drape, softness and sheen.  This extra special, squishy, ultra soft yarn provides even more warmth than other bulky yarns due to its chainette construction and the way it traps air.

      Amazing for a special hat, cowl, gloves or shawl.
