Fibre Company Acadia
Fibre Company Acadia is an absolutely stunning blend of merino, baby alpaca, and silk. It has a slight tweedy appearance because the silk takes the dye just a bit differently. This DK weight yarn would work up into gorgeous garments and incredible accessories. Try combining the wonderful colors too! Made in Peru

I have knit two Quaking Aspen shawls with this; love to wear it and loved the making of it. I have carpal tunnel and this yarn is very easy on my hands and gives me hours of knitting pleasure!

Comments about Fibre Company Acadia:
I made a cowl with this yarn and it is warm and snuggly to wear. I bought more to make another cowl and a sweater. It will be wonderful to wear a sweater made out of this yarn. It softens up after first wash/blocking.

Comments about Fibre Company Acadia:
I made a hat from Knitscene with this yarn and liked it so much I bought enough to make a sweater.
I really like the slubs in the yarn--it knits into a great texture.
