Meaning Two Lands, Dos Tierras reflects the origins of its two extraordinary fibres. By spinning together 50% fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% Baby Alpaca from Peru, Malabrigo has created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. The result is an ultra soft, 4 ply yarn with excellent stitch definition and a lovely drape, perfect for showing off your stitch work in Malabrigo's stunning kettle dyed colourways.
