Helix - Luxury in a skein! If you want to try a soft and a bit fluffy yarn that has that slight halo that you want for your handknits, this is it! La Bien Aimée Helix is a light and lofty yarn base that is exclusively spun for La Bien Aimée and hand-dyed to perfection.
This non superwash, lace to light fingering weight yarn combines Falkland Merino with the unique Gotland wool fiber. Gotland wool is known for its wonderful luster. The light-grey fiber of the Gotland wool mixed with the bright white merino of the Falklands gives the Helix yarn an incredible sheen and depth of color.
Helix is a splendid yarn fo lace work and light and airy shawls. Designed to be held double either with itself or with any other yarn, like Felix or Merino Bouclé, for garments such as sweaters, cardigans and knitted accessories. If doubling Helix together, try two strands of the same color for a rich semi-solid, sport-weight yarn, or hold two different colors together for an original marled effect.
