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.
