Materials & Care
Inspired by rugged rocky coastlines, Acadia is a rustic blend of fine Merino wool (providing warmth) and baby alpaca and silk noil (adding drape and lustre as well as an interesting knobbly texture). The heathered appearance of this DK weight yarn is achieved from a kettle dyeing process that creates the subtle duotones for which The Fibre Co. has become known.

The yarn has a good hand and is knitting to gauge for the pattern. I am not making much progress as the pattern I am using, from a Laine quarterly magazine, has some errors and I have had to FROG and adjust several times. I am disappointed in the pattern, not the yarn. Most knitters know trusting a pattern maker sometimes results in disappointment with the project. On the other hand, I have stuck with the project and I think that says alot for the yarn.

This was a special request from someone to match what they had made for a grand child.

The color is amazing - it's a purple gray with subtle flecks of purple. It's so soft and easy to knit up

Love that I'm supporting a local business while also supporting by craft habit! The yarn is very high quality, beautiful color, and the shipping was very fast.
