Southern Alpacas Samples!
Here is a real treat from Southern Alpacas! What vibrant colours - and perfectly named to match the colours of a summer garden: Lovely Lavender, Sunburst of Poppies, and Pretty Pentstemons. Thesehanks are hand-dyed 2 ply yarns – which are incredibly fine, and they go a long way.
They have clean raw fibre in a dozen natural shades, and washed and carded slivers of pure alpaca fibre, in natural colours. They also blend natural coloured alpaca with hand-dyed silk for luxurious blends in fabulous bright colours. This year the range is luscious and almost edible – raspberry, bananaberry, apricot swirl, blackberry, black spice, and lavender.
I'm a bit of a crafter and know how great it is to build a stash of awesome quality yarns and accessories that someone else has lovingly created. The NZ Yarn Sampler is a fantastic mini-stash builder that means you can play around with a sample size before deciding on exactly what you want in a full size. It is also an innovative promotional tool for professional crafters to advertise to a specific target market (ie crazy knitters who insist on building the biggest stash of the best yarns available!)
