A natural classic, Yonder is 50% highland wool and 50% alpaca, with all the knit-able qualities that touch a knitter’s heart!

About This Yarn

• 3 strands plied together in a lofty spin, Yonder breathes and blooms when you knit, a classic worsted weight yarn that is plump, generous, and very satisfying on your needles!
• You'll love Yonder's robust and earthy feel, with a resilience in the hand that comes from the highland wool's bounce alongside alpaca's supple softness.
• Yonder's wonderful toothy feel makes your knitting a joy, beautiful in colorwork, textured patterns, and plain stockinette, alike.
• And then there's the color! With an earthy palette of heathered colors dyed over the natural colors grown by the sheep and alpaca, Yonder has a rich and varied palette... From Mountain Rose to Kelp Forest and Winter Sage, each hue is inspired by the magnificent depth of nature’s own spectrum.
