Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk
$8.00/ball, plus $.50/ball shipping

Debbie Bliss Alpaca Silk is unbelievably soft. It's also a lot loftier than your average alpaca yarn. The colors gleam--thanks to the silk --and the pattern support is typically terrific.

80% alpaca, 20% silk; 4.5 sts = 1" on about US #7 needles (though it looks pretty good at 4 on #8 as well); 72 yards per 50-gram ball

And here's the fly in the ointment: We already know we're going to have trouble keeping this in stock. Please click here to e-mail us about color availability before placing your order: just a quick line like, "Do you have 17 skeins of #5? Or, if not, what about #7?" We'll get back to you promptly, and then you won't wait months while we wait months for backorders.


Each ball is $8.00, plus $.50 shipping; colors shown below.
