Description
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
