Dos Tierras - Fairy Tale 342

Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibers found in this ultra-soft yarn. By spinning together 50% fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% baby alpaca from Peru Malabrigo has created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. With the combined good stitch definition, drape of this four ply yarn, their amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work.

Great for:

Accessories and hand-wash-friendly garments, next-to-skin wear, lace, cables, colorwork, and textured stitches.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag. Some colors may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball.  

A note about color variation:  Due to the hand dying process, each skein is unique.  You will receive a skein from this colorway, but not the exact skein pictured.  The proportions and intensities of colors may vary.  If you are ordering multiple skeins of the same color, we will hand pick skeins that match each other as best as possible.  We recommend buying your entire yardage requirement for your project in the same transaction for color continuity.
