This tweedy yarn combines a luxurious blend of Merino Wool and Superfine Alpaca, accented with a taste of viscose sourced from German sustainable forestry.

Alba is suitable for traditional cabled sweaters and palatable enough for even color work. There are vibrant and subtle shades to suit everyone.

Warm Days Knitting Pattern Book by Jody Long

Painted Cotton and Acrylic Blend Yarn newly introduced for spring of 2021 by Araucania Yarns. The sophisticated color stories and subtle speckling makes each colorway a design statement with little need to do anything more than enjoy the self patterning. This yarn strikes a balance between self striping and self patterning, sort of taking on a bit of both characteristics. The yarn has a beautiful airy drape, yet is warm enough for a cooler spring or fall day. Try out Papagayo on your next project!
