manos del uruguay alpaca heather

The beauty of undyed, naturally-colored alpaca (and its softness) combines into a heathery sport-weight yarn. When those 3 undyed colors (Grey, Beige, and Toast, all put up in 100g hanks) are then overdyed with Manos' kettle-dyed semi-solid colors, the results are rich, subtle tones (dyed skeins are put up in 50g hanks). Fiber: 70 wool, 30 alpaca Gauge: sport (2), 6-7 sts/inch Needle: US 3-5 (3.25-3.75mm) Hook: US D-F Weight: undyed 100g / dyed 50g Yardage: undyed 328 yds/ dyed 164 yds Care: hand wash, dry flat **Note: Hand-dyed yarns vary from skein-to-skein and more so from batch-to-batch. We recommend that you purchase enough yarn at once to complete an entire project. Also, when using hand-dyed yarns in a project that requires more than one skein, we recommend alternating skeins every other row to even out any differences.
