The Fibre Co.’s first brushed yarn is made in a mill in Southern Peru, home of the alpaca.
The Yarn
Made with love, in Peru
A brushed blend of Suri alpaca, organic cotton and Merino wool.
Cirro creates a delightfully soft haloed fabric that is light as a feather and easily worn next to the skin.
The Origin
why we chose Cirro
Adding Ethereal Beauty to Your Knitting
Adding Ethereal Beauty To Your Knitting
Fluffy fine Merino wool added to silky Suri alpaca and wrapped around a core of organic cotton.
The Beginning
Recognising that there were already plenty of beautiful silk mohair blends in the world, Daphne set about developing a yarn that would delight knitters with its fluffiness, while remaining true to The Fibre Co.’s ethos of sustainability.
The Mill
What came out of this development was a truly wonderful yarn that incorporates everything The Fibre Co. stands for and more. A cloud of fluffy fine Merino wool is added to silky Suri alpaca and then this super soft and lustrous fibre blend is wrapped around a core of organic cotton.
The Palette
This dreamy palette of gorgeous soft pastel tones is what makes Cirro such a special yarn. Cirro creates a delightfully soft haloed fabric that is light as a feather and easily worn next to the skin.

Stockist Testimonials
A stockist story from Knitting Off Broadway
"Tundra is one of our favorite go-to winter yarns!"
We received a lovely review of Tundra from Knitting Off Broadway and just a few examples of which patterns their customers LOVE to knit up in our Tundra yarn!
“The blend of fibres are so soft customers can’t resist. The hand dyed nature knits up beautifully, and since most projects are just one or two skeins, you don’t need to blend yarns!
The ‘Quick Bulky Cowl‘ is still popular! It is an engaging knit with lots of texture and everyone loves an excuse to use buttons. The ‘Bauble Cowl‘ is another really fun simple knit.
However, the ‘Falling Snow Stockings‘ are such a shop favorite. Many customers learned to knit Fair Isle using Tundra!”
A stockist story from Spun
"I'm a sucker for color, and when my eyes landed on Arranmore Light, I couldn't turn away!"
Spun staff member Kate just finished knitting her Mariechen (designed by Isabell Kraemer) out of Arranmore Light. After an initial color quandary, she thoroughly enjoyed the project:
“My difficulty was picking which color to use: The subtle flecks in Riveresque that create a light blue with depth? The rich saturation in Meera that made me want to dive in? Finally I settled on the vivid melange of orange and pink that Orla provided, and the color kept me happy the whole time I was knitting my cardigan.”
And Spun’s Amanda just launched into her Cadadh (designed by Kate Davies), opting for the beautiful neutral Tallach so that her piece would have broad appeal:
“I am loving it! Arranmore Light is the perfect balance of rustic and luxury.”
“I love that the cashmere and silk add a softness to the yarn without distracting from the wooly core. It’s sturdy without being stiff, and it’s gentle on my hands, thanks to the stretch in the wool. I look forward to wrapping myself in this cozy shawl on a chilly day.”
