Introducing...Misti Alpaca

Recently we had the opportunity to meet with a sales rep from Misti Alpaca, and to see and feel many of their lovely yarns. We were very impressed!

Of course, with the weather getting warmer, now isn't the season when we'd normally be stocking a lot of alpaca yarns. But lucky for us (and YOU), Misti Alpaca was offering some special deals so we could order small quantities of a few yarns and try them out. And here they are!

First up, this is Baby Me Boo. It's a beautiful thick and thin blend of 50% baby alpaca, 30% merino, and 20% bamboo. We have two skeins each of natural cream and nine hand-painted colors. Worsted weight, 174 yds/skein.

Next, we have Hand Paint Chunky. Folks, we've touched a lot of super soft alpaca yarns over the years, but this one just might be the softest yet. It's 100% baby alpaca and the colorways are gorgeous. We have two skeins each of ten colorways. Bulky weight, 108 yds/skein.

Last but not least, here's Pima Silk Hand Paint and Tonos. This actually is a great yarn for warm weather. It's 83% pima cotton, 17% silk. We have five skeins each of one hand paint multi colorway and three Tonos (tonal, kettle-dyed look) colorways. DK weight, 327 yds/skein.

Again, these are some yarns we're just trying out, and there are very limited quantities of each, so come and get 'em soon. Fondle them, knit with them, and let us know what you think! Your feedback will help us decide which Misti Alpaca yarns we'll order for fall.
