Empyrean is a deliciously soft, fluffy lace-weight yarn base, perfect as an alternative to mohair or suri alpaca. It is excellent as a complementary thread to be held with a different yarn, or just by itself, and it is also wonderful to be used for adding subtle colour accents to your fabric.

I chose the name Empyrean for its incredible, divine softness.

In ancient European cosmologies inspired by Aristotle, the Empyrean heaven, Empyreal or simply the Empyrean, was the place in the highest heaven which was supposed to be occupied by the element of fire (or aether in Aristotle's natural philosophy). In medieval Christianity, the Empyrean was the third heaven and beyond "the heaven of the air and the heaven of the stars."

Empyrean can also mean "heavenly" or "celestial".
