Only Elegance Will Work
Blue Acorn Elegantly Ewe yarn is the perfect
blend of four luxury fibers. Elegantly Ewe yarn combines Shetland Lamb’s wool, kid mohair, alpaca, and silk into a superior elegant yarn.
Shetland Lamb’s Wool
Shetland sheep wool is renowned
for its softness and strength. Shetland sheep have been on the Shetland Isles for over a thousand years. They are the smallest
of the British breeds. The wool produced by the Shetland has historically been a valued commodity. Wool sheared from Shetland
lambs is especially sought after for its softness.
Alpaca
Luxurious alpaca garments were once reserved only for
the nobility. The alpaca is a domesticated species of South America found on the level heights of the Andes Mountains. Alpaca
fiber is unusually strong, soft, and resilient with a rich silky sheen. The fine fibers of alpaca blend well with other natural
fibers. This rare, versatile, and hypoallergenic fiber adds a rich quality to elegant yarns.
Mohair
Mohair is shorn from the
mohair goat. One of the oldest textile fibers in use, mohair is durable and resilient. Noted for its luster and sheen, it
is often used in fiber blends. Mohair is warm, flame resistant, and crease resistant. Kid mohair is the most desirable because
of its soft qualities.
Silk
Silk is a natural protein
fiber, obtained from cocoons made by the larvae of the silkworm. Silk fabric was first made in ancient China, as early as
4000 BC. Originally only the emperors of China wore silk garments. Silk remains a luxury fiber in great demand because of
its texture and luster. Silk possesses a natural shine with a smooth, soft feel. It is the strongest of all natural fibers.
