Quartz glows with the mystery and beauty of an unearthed gem, seeming to hold nature's energy and to emit its own light!
- A wonderful mix of 65% merino wool and 35% suri alpaca, Quartz's luster may appear to come from the mineral world, but its radiance and sumptuous softness is, of course, all thanks to the animals and their fleece!
- Merino and alpaca balance each other wonderfully, creating a yarn that is strong and soft, with both elasticity and drape. Together they knit into a fabric that is supple, smooth, and amazing to touch!
- Suri alpacas have long, sleek locks and are much less common than their woollier cousin, huacaya alpacas. The addition of suri gives this yarn a subtle halo and makes this super lustrous fiber really special!
- A classic fingering-weight yarn, milled and dyed in Peru, Quartz is Peru Fair Trade Certified and adheres to the European regulations that protect human health and the environment from harmful chemicals.
- From juicy Fresh Fig to bold Cardinal Red, Quartz comes in almost thirty gorgeous colors, inspired by mineral, animal, and vegetable. We love it for all the accessories: hats, scarves, mitts, and lovely nylon-free socks... Check out all our knitting pattterns for Quartz to see the possibilities!
