With a high twist this is a robust yarn that sucks up the dye, speckles superbly and makes a light fabric which makes wonderful garments. The colours appear bright and clear. A great option for sport weight socks as this

it is 100% Baby Suri Alpaca

It takes the dye really well and speckles can be achieved

and the dye spreads in the same way that alpaca does
