Description
Tundra yarn from The Fibre Company is an exquisitely soft bulky 2-ply in elegant colors that will delight you with their warmth and luxury all winter long. The loftiness of the blend is a wonderful surprise given the quick-to-knit gauge. The merino gives a little extra body to the alpaca, while the silk offers just the slightest magical sheen. With a plump, pleasingly rounded twist, hats, shawls, cowls, and a new favorite sweater are all elevated in this extraordinary yarn.
Care: Handwash gently in cool water with mild soap. Lay flat/block to dry.
Dyed in smaller batches with subtle variations in the color, we recommend alternating hanks to give an overall blended appearance.
