Dos Tierras

Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibers found in this ultra-soft yarn.  By spinning together 50% fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% baby alpaca straight from from Peru, Malabrigo has created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful.  And when you combine the stitch definition and drape of this four ply yarn with Malabrigo's amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work. This yarn is perfect for accessories and hand-washable garments, as well as vibrant colorwork.  Yarn Weight: DK Yarn Texture: 4 ply Yardage/Meters: 210 yards (193 meters) Skein Weight: 100 grams Gauge: 20-22 sts = 4 inches Needle Size: 5-6 / 3.75-4.0 mm Hook Size: US I-9 to K-10/12 or 5.5-6.5 mm Content: 50% Merino Wool, 50% Baby Alpaca Care: Hand Wash, Cold water, Dry flat Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to ba
