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’d love to win this. The yarn look very beautiful!
I would make some armwarmers using Verdigris Monochrome. My office is freezing!
Oh, my goodness! To have to choose only ONE shade?! Well, I think it would have to be Smooch Monochrome that would become a cowl for my sister-in-law.
Your pictures of this yarn are wonderful – I can just about feel the yarn just from looking! :)
I love the Blue Teal Monochrome colourway and would make a pair of wrist-warmers with the skein.
I might try to eke out a Cedar Leaf Shawlette in the Verdigris monochrome. It’d be beautiful.
I think that the Terracotta would make a really beautiful Pretty Maids shawl. I’m definitely a shawl lover, and am on a serious kick.
All the colours are gorgeous, however.
Frog Belly is a perennial favorite color for me, which I would turn into a really smooshy lovely pair of mitts.
I love the Verdigris Monochrome color, its so rich and pretty. I think it would be a perfect hat, or cowl. Herm so many pattern ideas floating around. :)
Sounds like Chocolate Roses would make a lovely cowl!
I would make the neck warmer scarf in the Van Gogh colorway….I can’t wait to order some of this yummy yarn!
Merry Christmas….snow is coming our way again today:)
