Metalico Yarn by Blue Sky Fibers
Earth Tones That Sparkle
A 50/50 blend of baby alpaca and mulberry silk, the Metalico collection comprises six neutral, earth-tone yarns. While undyed, these yarns exude a certain luster thanks to the addition of silk. This sport-weight yarn is great for hats, wraps, sweaters, and shawls, whether you’re working with a larger needle or a smaller one.
Note: This drop is for one skein of Metalico sport-weight yarn with the option of purchasing a set of five skeins (+$52). At checkout, you’ll have your choice of six colors.

A Word from Blue Sky Fibers
“Creating consciously crafted fibers and patterns is more than just our focus, it’s our passion. Ever since we started with a small herd of alpacas in our backyard, we’ve been committed to making yarn in the best way possible to show off its natural beauty. And while our exclusive offerings have grown beyond alpaca to include wool, organic cotton, and silk, our desire for getting makers of all stripes excited about natural fibers and knitting hasn’t changed one bit. It all winds back to the yarn, ensuring that every precious, handmade hank is lovingly filled with endless inspiration.”
