About This Yarn

Something a little different, this yarn is two different strands twisted together, one is a brushed fluffy mixture of baby alpaca and wool with a Tencel binder, and the second is a high strength wood pulp paper. We suggest acid dyes for this yarn; the paper takes this very lightly so adds a lovely contrast to the fluffy yarn. This would also be nice naturally dyed, using a tannin and then alum mordant as both fibres would take the dyes but slightly differently. It knits really nicely and creates a very light fabric with a gentle halo. This would make beautiful summer garments and if woven would create something very special.
