Jody Long Alba is a blend of 50% merino wool, 25% alpaca and 25% viscose, resulting in a modern tweed effect, soft to the touch yarn which is a joy to knit. Merino blend yarns create breathable knitted fabrics which are cool to wear in warm weather and warm to wear in colder temperatures. Alba knits to a light DK weight. The rustic colour palette makes this yarn perfect for gentle stitch definition to cables and colour work projects.
