DK Yarn | Trulee Alpacas

These special skeins of yarn are made in Nova Scotia from start to finish. The alpaca fiber comes from Trulee Alpacas at Oaklee Farm in Millbrook, NS from Leana and Kaila's own small herd of alpacas. Each skein is minimally processed, undyed, and spun in Cape Breton at the Opulent Alpaca mill with 30% merino added.

PLEASE NOTE: Many of these skeins are one-of-a-kind, so please make sure to get enough for your project.

Located in Millbrook, Nova Scotia, OakLee Equines is a horse, donkey, and alpaca farm owned by Leana Kennedy and Kaila Watters. They've now started producing alpaca yarns and rovings under the name TruLee Alpacas. Their yarns are all minimally processed, undyed, and spun with merino at Opulent Alpaca Mill in Cape Breton.

This yarn is beautifully buttery and soft! It will be able to hold texture and cables really well, as well as have wonderful structure for things that need alot of elasticity and bounce-back. That's why we think this yarn is perfect for a classic ribbed toque, or a turtleneck collar like Petiteknit's Terazzo Neck.
