Blue Sky Alpacas Coming Soon!
I know, it's a tease - but it's on the way. Blue Sky Alpacas yarn is the company that convinced me to finally take the brick and mortar leap: open a store. Pushed me over the edge. And these yarns will do it to you, too. Blue sky alpacas have been on our wish list for some time - it began with making childrens sweaters, but this yarn couldn't stay in our hands long enough - everyone always wanted to know WHAT it was, WHERE it came from, WHAT it was made out of. And like true fiber addicts, we love to share yarns like these - spread the word! With luscious, amazing colors, and incredible fiber blends, anything you make in Blue Sky, whether it's their cotton, their alpaca/silk blend, or their gorgeous, bulky 50% alpaca/50% wool blend. Make sure you join our knitlist, we'll be doing a sample send out, and you'll want to get in on it soyou can spend all your hard earned money on this incredible yarn.

| Wow. Check out the colors. If you came into the shop on one of our weekend knit-ins' you could check this gorgeous yarn out, and you'd leave with a bunch of it. But the reason I sell on the internet is so that you don't HAVE to come to my store - and you can still get this beautiful, bulky cotton and be in heaven, as I am. Check out our partner, fabsweaters kids, new line of sweaters in Blue Sky Cotton. Lovely. |

Here at fab, we tend toward bulky and easy to knit. That's hard to find it cotton, but Blue Sky has done it again. This stunning bulky weight organic cotton is scrumptious. Baby Blankets, Summer Sweaters, Winter Cowl Necks, what doesn't work with a good, solid cotton. In a great array of colors, too. But for some of us, organically grown has that special appeal. |

It was hard to pay attention to the non-glamourous colors in this yarn - the hand-dyes are so stunning, that you can overlook au natural. But then I ordered some for pattern testing. Oh my goodness. Gorgeous. Every one of the naturals has a special lustre, a touch of heather, a depth and such a wonderful, natural hand that it begs to be touched. These are now my favorite.

| I had someone making up sweaters for me in this yarn. She knit on the train going into work in the morning. If you've taken NJ Transit into NY, then you know the drill - grumpy, crowded, self-involved. But this yarn changed all that. Everyone stopped to talk to her: what was she making, where did she get that beautiful yarn - Alpaca? Wasn't that a sheep. It was when the Conductor picked up the baby sweater she was working on and paraded it up and down the isle that she knew it was really something else. I knew from the beginning. This yarn is GORGEOUS. |

I have seen an awful lot of alpaca/silk blends in my day - some of them were quite nice. This is way beyond nice. It is the perfect alpaca and silk yarn. Just enough fuzz (hardly any), a glimmer, a twinkle of silk, the lightness and airy-ness of alpaca, and you have the perfect match. Practical, too. I could go on and on about the qualities of alpaca - warmth, lightness, hollow core, etc. But this yarn is just beautiful enough to buy without the added bonuses. Hmm. Baby Blankets, YES, booties YES Gorgeous Shawls YES. |
