Soft and silky Skyland from Blue Sky Fibers has landed in space! We are excited to share this brand-new yarn with you. We fell in love with it at first touch – it’s so wonderfully soft!
Made from a blend of 30% Baby Alpaca, 30% Silk and 40% Fine Highland Wool, Skyland will be your new favorite yarn. The fiber content is quite unique – the Baby Alpaca creates luxurious drape and is soft to the touch with a subtle halo, the Silk produces luster and beautiful definition and the Fine Highland Wool provides structure, warmth and elasticity. This round 4-ply luxury DK weight yarn has generously sized 100g hanks and a classic and sophisticated color palette. It is the perfect choice for textured accessories and sweaters. Skyland is truly special and a treat for your hands – soft and smooth with a bit of bounce as it rolls off your fingers.
Skyland colors capture the beauty of the stars, space and nature. These eleven celestial-inspired shades create this classic and sophisticated color palette. From Comet to Deep Space, there is a perfect color for everyone.
