The beauty of undyed, naturally-colored alpaca (and its softness) combines into a heathery sport-weight yarn. These yarns are formed by dyeing a base of naturally coloured alpaca, which results in complex beautiful shades. It pairs perfectly with the Alpaca Heather Naturals, and we think it would be lovely in colourwork projects like sweaters, accessories or soft and cuddly shawls.
