This year's yarn harvest is giving beachy vibes. There are a couple colors very reminiscent of surf and sand, so we had a little fun with the names this time around. All skeins are 200 yards, 2 ply worsted weight. All from our alpacas with the exception of some silk and merino added to a couple batches for some fun pops of color.
The yarn blends will vary from year to year as some alpacas age out of the yarn pool and young alpacas enter the stage for the first time. This year Kalya and Kimbra are no longer in the yarn pool but are still contributing to roving and rug yarn. Schoonie is our new kid on the block, joining the Espresso on the Beach blend with her sire, Shawn.
