Featuring alpaca, linen and bamboo with soft tweedy flecks, Mirasol’s Ch’ichi is a somewhat unusual blend.
We adore the alpaca for its softness and warmth, the linen for its drape, the bamboo for its luminance and the tweed for adding a rustic touch.
So, is it a winter yarn, a summer yarn, a rustic yarn? Perhaps something in between!
In a palette of delightfully sunny summer hues, we think this curious yarn will brighten any mood.
