About Blue Sky Fibers Prairie Yarn
Prairie Yarn from Blue Sky Fibers is unique, soft and airy 100% Brushed Suri Alpaca. This all natural, hypoallergenic yarn is an excellent alternative for lace weight mohair. Prairie yarn knits up nicely into warm, yet light and airy garments or accessories, or can be combined with other yarn to add warmth and softness to your project.

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.
