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 forever monochrome. I would make a pair of fingerless mitts with it.
I think I might have a touch more snow here than you have even if it is just a few miles away.
I love the Oregon Cellar so lovely. I would love to make myself some fingerless gloves.I can not say a pattern currently because pregnancy brain and am so tired. Baby could come any time lol.
I’d have to say Black Cherry, knit into a Koolhaas. I knit that hat for a friend of mine out of another silk blend (it’s in my projects) and I looooved that hat. So I’d make one for me. Yup yup :)
I LOVE the Van Gogh colorway. I can think of so many things to do with it! The first two that come to mind are the Bijou crochet scarf: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bijou-crochet-scarf
and a Crocodile stitch neckwarmer:
