“Dos Tierras” means “Two Lands,” symbolizing the origins of its two exceptional fibers: 50% fine Uruguayan merino wool and 50% baby alpaca from Peru. This ultra-soft DK weight yarn blends structure and drape beautifully, thanks to its four-ply construction. Its smooth texture and excellent stitch definition pair perfectly with Malabrigo’s signature kettle-dyed colorways—both semi-solid and variegated—making it a stunning choice for garments, shawls, and textured patterns.
Great for: Accessories, next-to-skin garments, hand-wash-friendly knits, lace, cables, colorwork, and textured stitches.
Note: As with all hand-dyed yarns, each skein is unique and may vary slightly from the photos.
