NEW Yarns from Alpaca With A Twist!

In case you haven't heard, we love Alpaca, and if you give it a try, you'll love it, too (and the very special and affectionate Alpaca creatures as well)!
Socrates - is a new sock yarn made from a blend of baby alpaca, merino wool, bamboo and a touch of nylon for added strength. This lovely yarn isn't just for socks, though; try it for your lace work, baby knits or any other design that vcalls for fingering weight yarn. The 100g skein has great yardage with 400 yds and retails for $18.95. Check out the shades.

Mojito - A great new variegated 100% baby alpaca yarn that knits up to an aran weight. Perfect for hats, scarves, sweaters and accessories. The 100g skein has 145 yds and retails for $24.95. We love the colours!

Temptation - The name says it all with this one! A dreamy blend of alpaca and silk makes this worsted weight yarn a great choice for warm winter sweaters, shawls and accessories. The 50g, 109 yard skein retails for $10.95. Check out the shade card.
