Yarn Information
The Luxury Blend collection is an exclusive blend from KINUA: 80% Fine Peruvian Merino Wool with 20% Baby Alpaca Suri. Baby Alpaca Suri fiber is characterized by its lustrosity, softness and thermal properties. Two fiber weights are available from the Luxury Collection: Fingering and Aran.
To source Fine Peruvian Merino Wool, we work directly with a small group of local farmers from the Andes Mountains, nearly 4000 meters (13,000 feet) above sea level, to hand-select small batches of the finest Peruvian merino wool. Each lot is scoured, milled, spun and quality controlled by our team.
Suri alpaca is one of our most adored and luxurious fibers. its unique luster and incomparable softness make it ideal for the creation of fine, heirloom garments. Combined with our merino wool fiber it makes for the perfect, luxury blend for your most cherished knitting projects. Today Suri alpacas only represent around 12% of the global alpaca population which makes it a rare and highly valued fiber.

I love the pattern. Ordering and downloading was easy. I haven’t made it yet, but after reading through the pattern the instructions are clear. For a novice I think it will provide a great learning challenge and enhance my skills as a knitter.
The ordering & download were easy. I haven’t made it yet, but after reading through the pattern it looks well written and presented and easy enough for a relatively novice knitter to understand.
Everything arrived in wonderful shape and was exactly as I hoped it would be. I wasn't surprised -- I've ordered from this organization for years and years.
I love Serena it is a perfect year round yarn. The drape is always beautiful and it has great stitch definition. Not to mention that every color produced by Manos is magic. The staff at Fairmount Fibers is always kind and amazing! Thanks so much for my recent order! Christy Pyles
