Ode Yarn – 100% Baby Alpaca – Gist Yarn
Ode is a 100% baby alpaca yarn sourced from Peru and dyed in a delicate, nuanced palette that brings depth and richness to all your weaving projects.
Baby alpaca is the softest and most luxurious grade of alpaca fiber. Scarves, shawls, or lightweight blankets woven with Ode will be exceptionally warm, soft, and comfortable to wear close to the skin.
Ode is suitable for both warp and weft. It weaves beautifully on both rigid heddle looms and multi-shaft looms, offering excellent drape and an elegant finish.
