This yarn is a little bit of an asymmetrical 2 ply yarn; a lovely part of it’s character. It is made with 100% Huacaya Alpaca (not Suri) which gives it a lot of loft and softness. When you let it lay in your hand it is poofy then when you draw your stitch it pulls thinner. Often I like to do my dye work over the many wonderful natural colors that alpaca comes in (fawn, gray, black, chocolate, white, and shades in between). This gives an additional dimension to the color and combinations of colors.
