Alpaca and bamboo blended fine gauge yarn. These are 3 pound cones of very fine gauge alpaca/bamboo blended yarn. This yarn was specially made so there is no other like it. Alpaca's warmth and softness combined with bamboo's silkiness give this yarn a wonderful feel. The cones are not dyed so they are all a natural white color. I have three different gauges available. 6 cones 2/20 gauge yarn, a blended 50% baby alpaca and 50% bamboo. $90.00 per cone; 8 cones 1/20 gauge yarn, blended 80% baby alpaca and 20% bamboo. $120.00 per cone; 12 cones 1/30 gauge yarn, blended 80% baby alpaca and 20% bamboo. 150.00 per cone. Located in Trout Lake, Washington.
