Description
Oh beautiful for umber waves of…..alpaca! This deep brown yarn was created from the soft fleece of Ten Seven Acres farm residents, Kahula. Kahula means “The Dance” in Hawaiian, fitting give that this girl loves to bounce, pronk, run, and play.
We added a 22% blend of color matched bamboo to give this yarn a bit of fill when knitting.
About the Farm
Since 2013, our farm has been home to about 25 alpacas – far outnumbering people in our small town of Galchutt, North Dakota. Each year our alpacas get sheared just once, making their soft and warming fiber truly something special. Keeping it hyper-local, the fiber is transformed into finished yarn just 9 miles up the road at our sister-company and fiber mill, Yarn Factory.
Natural Yarn
We believe in processing our yarn without harsh processes like superwashing or acid bathing. While we take multiple steps to remove vegetative matter from the fiber, some may remain in the finished yarn that is usually removable after knitting. After all, animals live outside!
