Luxurious and earthy, this chunky weight yarn from Wooladdicts is addictive to knit. I used it for my Triton sweater and when I wasn't knitting with it, I was dreaming about knitting with it. Pretty hard to resist a yarn with that's half alpaca. Wool and microfiber add to its appeal, lending elasticity, structure, and sheen. Earth is a two-ply yarn with nice stitch definition and a very subtle texture in the knitted fabric. Did I mention how much I like this yarn?
Wonderfully happy at a standard chunky gauge of 12 stitches per 4 inches, all that alpaca give Earth enough softness and drape to be knit at a slightly tighter gauge without feeling stiff.
