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!

I love the Day in Cape Cod colorway – reminds me of growing up in New England. I would make a shawlette for my mom who still lives back East.
Ooh, how lovely. I really like the A Day at Cape Cod colorway, it would make a lovely shawlette, maybe the Arrowhead Shawl.
I love Mahogany Shadows!! And it would be perfect to make Anthera (beret, cowl and/or wristlets) from Twist Fall 2010.
Love the pewter monochrome and of course all the greens. I have a cowl pattern I’ve been wanting to do that would work perfectly with this! Fabulous colorways! Rav: knittinwolf
I love Bruin Monochrome – and I would knit a cowl like Ptarmigan or the Forest Canopy Cowl or the Flower Hat by Rebecca Lennox.
