Yarn and yardage:
Yarn used in the swatch:

Optional: Rosários 4 Aurora , lace weight (210 m / 25 g; 70% kid mohair, 30% silk).
Note: You can add a strand of Aurora to give the fabric a soft halo, make it lighter, and create a fluffier texture. If you prefer a cooler, more defined feel against the skin, you can also knit it using only Balada.
Approximate yardage : 200 m, or 2 balls of Rosários 4 Balada and 1 ball of Rosários 4 Aurora.
