This luxurious yarn is made from fiber of the Suri alpacas raised by Heritage Farm Alpacas in Flora, Indiana, blended with tencel for added durability and breathability. This yarn has lovely drape and a light, silky touch — perfect for shawls and wraps.

Merino/Yak/Silk
This base is super soft and luxurious — a 4-ply, made from 60% superwash merino, 20% yak, and 20% silk. Merino/Yak/Silk - DK is the same weight (and feel) as the Merino/Silk - DK and pairs nicely with that base. The base is gray, so the natural dyes result in deep, complex color.
