Boasting an impressive length of 1000 m / 1111 yards, each soft yarn whirl skein offers ample material to explore imaginative ideas.

The harmonious blend of luxurious alpaca and virgin wool makes this soft yarn an ideal choice for a wide range of projects, from delicate garments to robust home decor items. The substantial length ensures larger creations can be tackled without constant interruptions for skein changes, providing a seamless and uninterrupted crafting experience.
