Blue Sky Fibers - Extra
Soft, light, and endlessly versatile – Extra from Blue Sky Fibers, an aran weight alpaca and merino yarn, is a joy to knit or crochet with. The blend of 55% baby alpaca and 45% fine merino wool creates a yarn that is both luxuriously soft and wonderfully durable, with a springy twist that gives your stitches beautiful definition.
Each generous 150g hank offers 218 yards of light and lofty yarn, making it perfect for cozy one- or two-hank projects like hats, scarves, cowls, and lightweight sweaters. The balanced alpaca–merino blend brings warmth and drape while remaining breathable, so your finished pieces feel just as good as they look.
This yarn works beautifully across a range of needle sizes, giving you the freedom to create textures from snug and structured to soft and airy. Whether you’re knitting cables, lace, or simple stockinette, it delivers a smooth, satisfying experience from cast-on to bind-off.
