Please Note

This yarn is truly one of a kind — hand dyed in small batches, so we rarely have more than four skeins from the same dye lot available. As a hand-dyed yarn, subtle colour variations and occasional speckles are part of its unique character.

Description

Manos del Uruguay Alpaca Heather is a beautifully soft yarn spun from 70% baby alpaca and 30% wool. Its gentle halo and heathered tones create a yarn that is warm, lightweight, and full of depth. The sport/DK 6 ply weight makes it versatile for garments and accessories, offering drape and softness while still holding structure. Hand-dyed by artisans in Uruguay, Alpaca Heather combines natural luxury with the unique character of small-batch colour.
