Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibres used in this ultra-soft yarn. Malabrigo Dos Tierras knitting and crochet yarn is created by spinning together 50% of fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% baby alpaca from Peru, kettle-dyed in semi-solid and variegated colours. It is a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. Malabrigo Dos Tierras knitting and crochet yarn has a great stitch definition and an excellent drape.

Be sure to get enough yarn to complete your project since each bag is a different dye lot, and skeins may vary from bag to bag.
