Hand Dyed Prairie Limited Edition by Blue Sky Fibers
Hand Dyed Prairie Limited Edition by Blue Sky Fibers
Meet Prairie - brushed suri yarn that’s 100% alpaca - a unique blend consisting of 53% Suri Alpaca/47% Baby Huacaya Alpaca! Prairie is all natural and an excellent alternative for lace weight mohair, creating a luxuriously soft option. The combination of softness from the Suri Alpaca and the structure from the Baby Huacaya Alpaca creates a magnificent yarn. Light, airy, and soft, this single-ply, fingering weight yarn is inspired by Minnesota prairies.
Blue Sky Fibers also has the Autumn/Winter 2024 pattern collection. This collection features over a dozen patterns, many designed in Prairie and other cold weather favorites like Woolstok, Skyland, Brushed Suri, Techno, and Baby Alpaca. With many cowls, shawls, wraps, and sweaters, this collection will encourage both knit and crochet makers to start a new project.
When used on its own, Prairie creates a sheer, lightweight fabric. When paired with another yarn, it creates a feathery, soft halo with interesting texture. Prairie creates dreamy, finished fabrics and works well at a different gauges. This brand new yarn for 2024 is a versatile option for your next project.
