We are expanding our Angel Naturals range to now include this deep graphite DK. The dark grey colour all comes from the undyed alpaca fibre. The natural, dark grey alpaca adds glorious depth to the yarn when over dyed. The yarn takes the dye well, although colours are more muted than normal, and quite rich on this base. This yarn does not speckle very well. The fabric is light and drapey and feels silky soft in the handle. A wonderful yarn for accessories that can be worn against the skin, stunning sweaters and cardigans.
