Shibui Cima is a laceweight yarn that blends wool's beautiful stitch definition with alpaca's gorgeous softness. Use it on its own, or combine it with other yarns to create fabrics with a lovely look and gorgeous drape.
The Tier Scarf by Shellie Anderson features elongated rows of dropped stitches stack to create a layered effect in this light and thin accessory. Two skeins of Cima make this drapey and soft scarf. The length of this scarf makes it enjoyable to wear wrapped up several times or without any wrapping.
We also love the fabric created when Cima is held double in projects like Mix No. 10 Hat by Kristin Ford or when two colours are marled together like in the Kinetic cowl pattern by Antonia Shankland.
