Luxurious cloud-like blend of superfine alpaca, cotton, and wool. A pleasure to work with, it works up as a worsted or Aran weight. With generous meterage due to its blown construction. This construction also creates a light fabric that blooms beautifully. Warm without being heavy, structured without being stiff. Perfect for next-to-skin accessories or any project where you want softness.

Stratus is the first yarn we are selling under our own Beehive Wool Shop label. We have taken great care in sourcing this limited-edition yarn. Milled in Italy and dyed just for us in a curated palette of eight tonal colours by Catherine Knutsson of The Small Bird Workshop in Campbell River. All colourways are named for the beautiful colours of our beloved Pacific Northwest.

Hand wash. Lay flat to dry.
