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% of our fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% baby alpaca from Peru we have created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. And when we combine the good stitch definition and drape of this four ply yarn with our amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work.

Great for: Accessories and hand-wash-friendly garments, next-to-skin wear, lace, cables, color-work, and textured stitches.

**No Dye Lots. 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 bag. Individual skeins are not labeled as to which bag they were in- there are no dye lots on the skeins. Skeins may vary one from the other even within the same bag. To ensure random color distribution, work from two balls of yarn at once, alternating a few rows from each ball. 

We will always do our best to pick skeins that match, but for larger projects, please come in to see the skeins yourself, or email the shop to inquire about having us order the amount you need from Malabrigo.

Photos used are provided by Malabrigo and, due to the hand dyed nature of the yarn, are often slightly different than the actual colors.  Coming in to see this beautiful yarn in person is always your best bet to get what you want!
