Artfibers YURT Alpaca and Merino wool yarn, color 7
This yarn has a "bead chain" thick/thin variation, but looks and feels like very soft felt. The spinning was done for us by a family mill in Italy. We do the dyework ourselves in Northern California.
Here's what we say about it on our website (www.artfibers.com):
Wool 70% Alpaca 30%
17 stitches X 23 rows = 4"/10cm on US #9 needles
2.20 yards per gram
100.00 yards required for one square foot (knit to gauge in stockinette)
The strand seems to be made from felted beads, very soft and somehow reassuring -- a bit like the traditional Mongolian round shelter, made from felt, the YURT. This yarn has a very pleasing hand, in perfect weight for any cool weather garment. YURT also seems like the perfect start for an inventive felted expression.
Price per yard dyed: $0.08
Price per yard undyed: $0.06
Artfibers sells all of its yarns by the yard, on cones. buy as much or as little as you actually need. To purchase, just send an email to yarn@artfibers.com. We'll send you an invoice, you can pay online. Easy!
