What do you get when The Fibre Co. mixes super-soft alpaca and strong Highland wool to make Aran? A fabulously soft and squishy yarn that loves colour work is easy to knit and croc het, and brings joy to every stitch of your sweater, accessory, or homeware project. It's a perfect blend of Highland wool and alpaca twisted into a staple 2-ply yarn. And the colours ... don't get me started. We have them all. &Make yarns are made from 100% natural, sustainable fibres from renewable sources. &Make has a stunning full palette of cheerful brights and nuanced shades created by overdyeing a range of naturally light and dark colored fibres.
