Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibres found in this ultra-soft yarn. By spinning together their fine Uruguayan Merino wool with baby alpaca from Peru, Malabrigo have created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. And when the good stitch definition and drape of this 4 ply yarn is combined with the amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colours Malabrigo offer, you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work. 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. 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.
