More from Plymouth
Plymouth Yarn Company, out of Pennsylvania, is where most knitters find their first good alpaca: Baby Alpaca Grande is a chunky 100% baby alpaca that makes a scarf in an evening and a cowl in an hour, and Baby Alpaca Worsted is the same fibre at sweater gauge. Suri Stratus is the brushed suri laceweight for a halo.
The wools are the workhorses. Worsted Merino Superwash is a plied, washable merino in a wide solid palette, Homestead a Peruvian highland wool worsted with a Hearty chunky version, and Roam a heathered DK. Yakima adds yak to superwash merino; Quaker Hill is half wool, half alpaca. Every Plymouth order ships with matched dye lots.
