Malabrigo's Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibers found in this ultra-soft yarn. By spinning together 50% of their fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% baby alpaca from Peru, they have created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. And when they combine the good stitch definition and drape of this four ply yarn with their amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors, you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work. Colors labeled (Online Only) will arrive to our store in 2-4 weeks and can be shipped or picked up afterwards.
