Maai (pronounced mah-ah-ee) is the Japanese word for interval, break or pause. Maai is a springy chainette construction of 70% superbaby alpaca and 30% merino. These exquisite fibers bloom to create lush and lightweight knits - perfect for a multitude of garments and accessories worn next to the skin.
