- GuideCashmere and luxury fibers: what you are paying forWhy cashmere, silk, suri alpaca, yak and kid mohair cost what they do — fineness in microns, yield per animal, dehairing and hand-dyeing — what a 20% cashmere blend actually gives you compared with pure cashmere, where the money is worth spending and where it is not, how to buy luxury yarn by the yard rather than the skein, how to care for it, and the cashmere and luxury-blend lines we stock.

More from Blue Sky Fibers
Blue Sky Fibers, out of Minnesota, built its name on Organic Cotton: a thick, soft, undyed-or-gently-dyed worsted cotton that is the standard for baby blankets and washcloths, with an Organic Cotton Sport for lighter work and Sweater, a superwash wool and organic cotton blend, for garments that need some spring.
The wool side is Woolstok — a bouncy fine highland wool in heathered colours, at worsted, Light fingering and super-bulky North — and the alpaca side is Metalico, a baby alpaca and silk DK with a sheen, Suri Merino and the alpaca laceweight Prairie. Extra is a baby alpaca and merino worsted put up in 150 g skeins for sweaters. We match dye lots on every Blue Sky line.
