Meet our newest house yarn! Island Twist is here to stay as a staple for our mill, and in your stash. We’ve hand-selected beautiful Romney Fleeces for color and softness from the San Juan Islands. Blending them with long, crimpy, and super-soft alpaca gives the yarn a sumptous hand and wonderful drape. Next-to-skin soft, you’ll love this for cozy sweaters, cowls and shawls, hats and hoods. With a subtle halo, and round 3ply construction, this soft and sturdy yarn in an array of natural colors will create wardrobe staples.
