Each week we look around the store and decide on a yarn that we would like to highlight for the blog. We could blog for decades before we ran out of different yarns discuss! This week’s yarn we love is Lana D’Oro from Cascade Yarns.
This Peruvian made yarn is 50% Wool and 50% Superfine Alpaca. A wool and alpaca blend is ideal because the alpaca makes the yarn feel very soft while the wool keeps the alpaca from stretching out with wear. This is truly one of those yarns that you must feel to understand how soft it is.
Lana D’Oro is a light worsted weight yarn with 110 yards* and comes in 80 beautiful colors. This yarn would be great for a garment, scarf, or hat
Lana D’Oro Free Pattern Alert! As seen in Knitter’s Fall 2008!

*NOTE: Cultured Purls purchased this yarn when it was packaged with 110 yards, however as you will notice from the website, it is now packaged at 219 yards.
