Prairie is a diaphanous, fingering weight yarn with a stunning palette of 14 colors. It is a unique fiber blend that brings together the soft halo of 53% suri alpaca and the structure of 47% baby hucaya alpaca. When worked on its own, Prairie creates a sheer, feather-weight fabric and when paired with another yarn it adds softness and a painterly wash of color. Due to its sumptuous blend, Prairie is also the perfect yarn to use when substituting for lace-weight mohair, providing a luxuriously soft alternative.
The recommended needle and hook sizes range from 3.5 to 5.5 mm and each hank is 50g with 273 yds. Working with Prairie at different gauges will yield a variety of interesting and beautiful finished fabrics, from dense to sheer, making it a versatile option for your next project.
