Mistico is a magical blend of light, airy cotton, alpaca, wool & nylon. Soft & textural with a gorgeous halo, this unique yarn is made by plying together a strand of soft alpaca with a multi-hued strand of cotton, wool & nylon. The effect is an interesting yarn with great depth of color. The halo from the alpaca fiber makes this yarn really glow when knit or crocheted. The yarn has nice structure & is ideal for cozy sweaters, cardigans & wraps. Choose from a palette of wintry lights & mysterious darks.
