J Bear Sparkles 70% Alpaca 13% Nylon 10% Merino 7% Firestar Sock Yarn
J Bear Sparkles 70% Alpaca | 13% Nylon | 10% Merino | 7% Firestar Sock Yarn
Meet J Bear — a suri alpaca stud from Fehrenbach Farms whose silky, lustrous fiber inspired this one-of-a-kind sock yarn. Blended with nylon for durability, merino for memory and elasticity, and a touch of Firestar for an irresistible sparkle, J Bear Sparkles is everything you want in an alpaca sock yarn — and then some.
Alpaca alone can lack the memory needed for socks, but this thoughtfully crafted blend solves that beautifully. The nylon adds wear resistance, the merino brings spring and structure, and the Firestar catches the light with every stitch. The result is a yarn that knits up into socks that are soft, warm, durable, and just a little bit magical.
