This season-spanning blend of pima cotton and baby alpaca has fantastic drape for scarves, wraps, cardigans, and summer tops. The fiber blend and our kettle-dyeing process give the colors a heathered, stonewashed look.
Although it's labeled as a sport- to dk-weight yarn, Serena's gauge is very versatile, from 4 1/2 sts per inch all the way to 7. Try it for crochet, too!
