Red Blend

Three Animals. One Extraordinary Yarn.

Red Blend is a collaboration — a 3-ply DK weight yarn spun from the combined fleeces of three Fehrenbach Farms animals: Merengue, Peruvian Rockin Sweet & Suti, and Peruvian Jane. Each animal contributes something unique to the blend, and the result is a yarn with depth, character, and a warmth that only comes from fiber with a real story behind it.

At 68% alpaca and 32% llama, this is a blend that leans into alpaca’s silky softness and natural sheen while the llama adds drape and lightweight warmth. Three-ply construction gives it excellent stitch definition and a satisfying hand.

A note on the name: Peruvian Rockin Sweet & Suti — known as Rocko — holds a special place at Fehrenbach Farms as the very first llama born on the property. Every skein of Red Blend carries a little piece of that history.
