What’s the Stitch About Knitting Machines?
Let's talk about knitting machines! What are they, how do they work, and does it count as hand crafting if you use one? Why choose a knitting machine vs knitting by hand?
Dos Tierras means Two Lands, reflecting the sources of the two amazing fibers found in this ultra-soft yarn. By spinning together 50% fine Uruguayan Merino wool with 50% baby alpaca straight from from Peru, Malabrigo has created a DK weight yarn that is as versatile as it is beautiful. And when you combine the exquisite stitch definition and drape of this four ply yarn with Malabrigo's amazing kettle-dyed semi-solid and variegated colors you have the perfect palette to help show off your stitch work. Check out our Blog for Pattern Suggestions. This beautiful line of yarn is perfect for accessories and hand-washable garments, as well as vibrant colorwork.
