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!

Beautiful yarn! I would go for the colorway “Mahogany Shadows” and make a cuddly but drape-y shawl. I can already feel it against my skin!
I am a sucker for your monochromes, & the Regent is so lovely it almost glows. I can see it becoming a Frost Flowers Lace Cowl, with a pair of coordinated mitts. That would certainly be an elegant way to keep warm as the temperatures drop.
Oh, so many colors to choose from! But I think I would choose Field Mouse and make a comfy, lacy cowl to go with my brown tweed coat. That sounds dreamy.
Thanks for putting this contest together! You’re a sweetie pie!
So many beautiful colorways… but the Plum Monochrome would be the perfect choice for a shawlette for a dear friend. Thanks for offering the contest :)
Whew! Just under the deadline! I love your yarn, and think the Cactus Garden would look really beautiful knit in the Lacy Baktus pattern (Ravelry). Such great choices, though …
:o)
The Bruin is just the right color for a scarf to wear with my light brown sweater. I’d probably use one of Anne Hanson’s, too, since I’m such a fan!
It’s so tough to choose just one favorite color, but I’ll go with Vlads monochrome for a hat. (Forever and Sugar are also wonderful.)
the Blue Teal Monochrome is my fave (though it was a very hard decision. I think I would make a pair of fingerless gloves or a pair of mittens with a cable pattern.

I would love to sink my needles into either the obsidian or the regent monochrome. it is easy for me to visualize a lacy vest in either color.
The colors are all beautiful but my fave at the moment is hot mama. The color is a nice break from the grey and dreary we’re having here.I would make a shawl,probably Ishbel snce I’ve had the pattern sitting here for awhile.
