I've kmit a few pairs of socks and handwarmers using multicolored sock yarns, especially the mostly white with color speckles, and using this lace yarn with the sock yarn. It can emphasize a shade in the sock yarn, adds softness andmore warmth. The colors of the alpaca lace yarns are beautiful! The socks are handwash only with this addition.
I am using this as a knit-with yarn to soften the other yarn's dark color. This yarn is soft and beautiful and would also be great as a stand-alone fiber.
