Another incredibly beautiful new yarn from Artesano of England.  This is a fiber combination of 50% alpaca and 50% wool.  When dyed, this results in a soft heathered appearance that is truly gorgeous.  This yarn knits up quickly and is perfect for sweaters, blankets and all kinds of other items. It also felts very well.  

The yarn comes in large 100 gram skeins, with a generous 144 yards or 132 meters of yarn.  The recommended needle size is 4.5 - 5.5 mm (US 7-9) with a stitch gauge of 16-20 stitches over 4".

Artesano has a new range of felted patterns using this yarn.  There are also quite a few other new patterns available.  Make sure to look at the Artesano patterns page as well as the section on our site for worsted/aran weight yarns.  There are many patterns that would work very well with this yarn.
