Quince and Co's worsted weight Owl yarn is a beautiful blend of 50% American wool and 50% alpaca. This blend makes it delightfully soft, squishable and lofty. Available in a range of dyed colours, as well as natural wool shades, this yarn is gorgeous to work with and the perfect yarn for just about any worsted weight project.
The Calico and Ivy team love Owl for the Strix Varia shawl by Shannon Squire.
