Camelid Yarns, from Knitting Daily TV Episode 907's Yarn Spotlight

Join us at Maker Festivals Pennsylvania, the ultimate crafting extravaganza in Lancaster from July 31-August 3, 2024, and we will once again be bringing our fiber artists with us! Our festival lineup will have thousands of fiber artists, and jewelry makers!


Yarn Spotlight:
On this episode's yarn spotlight Eunny Jang and Clara Parkes go into the Knitting Lab to discuss camelid blends. What is a camelid yarn and what are the best uses for these fibers? Featured on this episode is Kelbourne Woolen's Road to China yarn. This 3-ply strong, soft, shiny, and drapey yarn has a lot of body. It lends itself well to comfy, cozy projects. Also seen on this yarn spotlight is Grignasco's Tikal baby alpaca yarn (pink).
