The Fibre Co.’s first brushed yarn is made in a mill in Southern Peru, home of the alpaca. Cirro is a sport weight yarn combining long lustrous Suri alpaca with Merino wool, and then wrapping this fluffy fibre around an organic cotton thread to make a light and airy yarn perfectly balanced for body and drape. Cirro creates a delightfully soft haloed fabric that is light as a feather and easily worn next to the skin.
“Step this way for fluffy gorgeousness! Suri alpaca and merino are wrapped around a cotton core, then brushed for a dreamy halo. Cirro feels light, airy and super-soft, and has a wonderful drape. There are many sophisticated shades to choose from. Cirro also blends beautifully with other yarns to add fluffy softness.” – The Knitter, Issue 173

I’m knitting now with Cirro in Enchanting, and am amazed by this lovely yarn! It’s so light-weight but has a lot of ‘tooth’; I washed the back of my sweater half-done to see how it looks (& whether it was tooo loosely knit). Nope, the yarn blooms beautifully. Wow, what’s my next color way for this fluffy warm yarn? I LOVE the black cotton core, which adds so much depth.

As a beginner knitter, I was looking forward to trying a new kind of yarn and picked up Cirro. I loved working with this yarn! It is so soft and drapes really nicely, especially after blocking. The fluff of the yarn is perfect, it looks and feels great but doesn’t shed too much. I ended up making a tee in Sublime and got some more yarn in Divine and Pink Planet for future projects!
