Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibers found in this ultra-soft yarn. By spinning together fine Uruguayan Merino wool with baby alpaca from Peru, Malabrigo created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. And when you combine the good stitch definition and drape of this four ply yarn with the amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work.
