{"product_id":"blue-sky-fibers-metalico-yarn","title":"Blue Sky Fibers Metalico Yarn","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlue Sky Fibers Metalico is a single-ply sport weight spun from half baby alpaca and half silk. The alpaca makes it soft and warm, and the silk gives it a sheen that catches the light like polished metal. It drapes and flows rather than springing back, so it's at its best in wraps, cowls, shawls and loose, lightweight tops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach 50 g braid is 147 yards (134 meters), and it knits at 5 to 6 stitches per inch on US 3 to 5 needles (3.25 to 3.75 mm). Six of the colors are the alpaca's own natural shades, from Opal to Sterling. The other ten are dyed and named for gemstones, Carnelian Red through Amethyst.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eYarn details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sport (#2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePut up:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hank, twisted into a braid, 50 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYardage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 147 yds \/ 134 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNeedle size:\u003c\/strong\u003e US 3-5 (3.25-3.75 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGauge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-6 sts per inch (suggested)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFiber content:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50% baby alpaca, 50% silk\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single ply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 16, six natural alpaca shades and ten dyed gemstone colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand wash in tepid water with mild soap, or dry clean.
