PINOT NOIR Baby Alpaca Sportweight Yarn- Kettle Dyed

Soft as a cloud, baby alpaca yarn. Kettle dyed, lovely shades of red and ready for you to make something truly yummy with it! Each skein is 291 yards per 3.5 oz. This a sport weight yarn.

Red, red, red! Mysterious, dark, yet bright and totally lovely.

It always amazes me when working with a new color scheme how the same dye reacts with different yarns. One yarn came out a dark purple with burgundy and black undertones. Using the same dye with this yarn gave me every shade of red imaginable with perhaps a hint of purple here and there. 

If I knew chemistry was this fun, I would have paid more attention to it in school!

Kettle dyeing means each skein is unique; no two skeins are exactly alike.

We recommend hand washing and air drying anything you make with this yarn. I can tell you that this is one of the softest yarns I have ever worked with; it works up beautifully, lays flat and has wonderful drape. Knit on a size 5 needle yields 5 stitches and 7 rows per inch. Crochet hook F (using SC) is 3 stitches and 2.5 rows per inch.

*Listed price is for one hank of yarn.
