Prairie Hand Dyed
Prairie Hand Dyed is a unique, single-ply brushed suri yarn made from 100% alpaca and is available for a limited time. These 50 gram hanks have 273 yards and are perfect to carry along with other yarns to create a feathery, soft halo, or on its own for light and airy garments and accessories. It’s also a wonderful option instead of mohair to add a luxuriously soft feel to any garment. We offer Prairie in 7 beautifully hand-dyed colors in the collaboration between Blue Sky Fibers and Malabrigo. Don’t wait too long or this will be gone!
