The Gemstones collection features 25 hand-dyed colorways inspired by the colors and character of precious and semi-precious stones—from rich Garnet and Amethyst to luminous Pearl and Aquamarine.
If there were a way to turn a cloud into yarn, this would be it. SilkPaca Fingering blends baby alpaca with silk for an incredibly soft yarn with beautiful drape and a subtle, luminous sheen.
Don't let all that softness fool you, though—this yarn is wonderfully versatile. Silk adds strength while alpaca brings warmth and softness, making SilkPaca a beautiful choice for socks, shawls, wraps, lightweight sweaters, hats, mittens, and more.

This yarn is so soft and smooshable! It did split occassionally, but otherwise works up like a dream. It has a beatiful sheen but is not too slipoery to work with. I will post my finished project soon. I also love that it is made in Seattle and the color selections are delicious! I’m already looking at the DK version for winter knits for Christmas presents. Glad I found this gem at Pike’s Place Market; if my daughter hadn’t been with me, I wouldv’e spent alot more time (and money) in this yarn store!
