Be one of the few to experience this amazing, natural yarn. Octet was created from two fibers from the great state of Michigan, home to many wool and alpaca farms: Polypay Wool from Holland, MI and a hint of alpaca from Reed City, Michigan. The result is Pure Michigan - it was even spun at a Michigan Mill and then dyed by Yarn Hollow in Grandville, MI. What makes this yarn super special is its bounce and crimp: these are fluffy skeins at 470 yards and 4 ounces. You will create a one-of-a-kind garment or accessory with this yarn - it’s perfect for fine gauge knitting, or use it on a larger needle to knit or crochet a sumptuous shawl.

This yarn is only available through seven shops in the US:

Natural Stitches, Pittsburgh, PA
Woven Art, East Lansing, MI

To further the excitement about this yarn, Yarn Hollow created a palette of colors specifically to work together for a great multi-color experience. We are pleased to introduce British Racing Green, Cherry Pepper, Ash Gray Patina, Denim, Pawpaw Blossom, Bark. These will complement the returning color of Smokey Rose Petal and Nightshade.
