Alpaca bamboo undyed handspun art yarn 35yd Sport weight

Description

This is one skein of beautiful, naturally colored yarn handspun on a drop spindle. Fiber content is approximately 80% huacaya alpaca and 20% bamboo. The fiber was spun in such a way that creates an uneven mixing of the fibers, allowing both fibers to fully show through.

The alpaca is wonderfully light and fluffy and buttery soft, and the bamboo is pure white and so shiny. The alpaca is a natural light grey color, with flecks of black. It's a 2-ply yarn, allowing for extra strength despite the wonderful softness.

Alpaca is an incredibly soft fiber, and warmer than wool. Bamboo is slick and shiny, almost like silk. Two of my favorite fibers, together in one yarn, with the best qualities of both.

This skein measures 35 yards, or approximately 32 meters, and 13 wpi which is about sport weight. It matches well with the other skeins of gray alpaca handspun yarn in my shop, because they have all been spun from the same fiber. This skein is slightly thinner than the others.
