Blue Sky Fibers Prairie Hand-Dyed

Available for a limited time only!

Unique Hand-Dyed 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. 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.
