Back Tierras of Malabrigo

Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibers found in this ultra-soft yarn. By blending 50% of our fine Uruguayan merino yarn with 50% baby alpaca from Peru, we have created a DK gauge yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. And when we combine the great stitch definition and drape of this four-ply yarn with our incredible kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors, you get the perfect palette to showcase your knit work.

Ideal for: Hand washable accessories and clothing, next to skin clothing, lace, cables, color work and textured knits.
