Mountain Bluebird 45% Alpaca | 40% Merino | 15% Silk Sport Yarn
Light as a wing and bright as a summer sky — Mountain Bluebird is a hand dyed speckled sport weight yarn that captures the fleeting beauty of one of nature's most vivid little birds. Dyed by Fehrenbach Fibers on a 45% alpaca, 40% merino, 15% silk base, this colorway soars through light blue, spring green, and yellow with magenta speckles scattered across like wildflowers on a mountain slope.
This is a truly luxurious blend — the alpaca brings warmth and a cloud-like softness, the merino adds structure and elasticity, and the silk contributes a luminous sheen that makes every color glow. At 250 yards per skein in a versatile sport weight, Mountain Bluebird is perfect for shawls, lightweight sweaters, hats, and any project that deserves a fiber as special as the inspiration behind it.
