Tierno is a new yarn for us! Actually we added this yarn earlier this fall and have only had it available at shows. Tierno is 70% Baby Alpaca and 30% Cultivated Silk. Each skein has 310 yards and knits at a DK gauge. It is sweetly soft and ideal for those who have wool allergies.
We now have it listed on the website and will be adding more colors and colorways over the next few months. I knitted a scarf with Tierno using Anne Hanson's Rivolo. It was a pleasant knit, with a lovely feel as it flowed through my fingers. Alpaca takes the colors in a more muted way, so these yarns have a luscious color softness as well as being soft to the touch.

We will be giving away a skein of Tierno to a randomly picked person who comments on the blog between now and 12 noon EST on Wednesday, December 15 .
NOTE: Your comment should include which color of Tierno you like the best and indicate what you would like to make with it.
And just so you can see what is happening in the mountains of East Tennessee. They have predicted a total of 8 plus inches of snow!

Love the idea of the Tierno. I have a good friend that has a wool allergy and so am thinking about a shawl for her out of Tierno. I’m new to Miss Babs and love the Yowza I’ve bought. I really love the color St. Paul’s Cathedral.
I think this is gorgeous. I would knit a beautiful cowl with the Chocolate Roses.
Oregan Cellar. I think it would look lovely as a lace cowl. The Noble Cowl on Ravelry is a good pattern, and I think the verigated would show up nicely with the lace.
I think the Marlwy scarf by Ysolda Teague would be grear knit in Tierno Smooch or maybe Verdigris. Something light soft and lvely around the neck.
Lovely! I think I like the obsidian best, though regent is also right up my alley (and will look more interesting against my black coat). I would make long fingerless mitts to wear over my gloves and around my still chilly office at work.
