Yarn dupe?

Oct 29, 2011 14:53

Does anyone happen to know if there is a less expensive yarn similar to Tilli Thomas Symphony Lace? I'd need about two skeins of Symphony Lace, and $80 is a little steep for me right now.

Thank you! :)

Are you looking for something with the same beads in it - or would any kind of sparkly mohair laceweight be close enough?

This is sparkly mohair laceweight. This is a lace mohair that's on sale for really cheap. Similarly, here, here, and here are some more mohair laceweights. This one is a fun multicolored option if you're okay with acrylic.

The beads are what attracted me to the Symphony Lace since I've never seen yarn that already comes with the beads in it. I haven't taught myself to knit with beads yet. =/ But thanks for linking me to the sparkly mohair! I think I might go with that one and just live without the beads for now. :)

I read some reviews of the pricey beaded yarn on Ravelry - apparently it's known for being knotty, poorly made for the price, and difficult to work with.

And I just remembered one more yarn that might work for you - this is more sparkly in person than in the photo.
