The Fibre Co.’s first brushed yarn is made in a mill in Southern Peru, home of the alpaca. Cirro is a sport weight yarn combining long lustrous Suri alpaca with Merino wool, and then wrapping this fluffy fibre around an organic cotton thread to make a light and airy yarn perfectly balanced for body and drape. Cirro creates a delightfully soft haloed fabric that is light as a feather and easily worn next to the skin.

Cirro will surprise you in a number of ways. It's not itchy! When I think of mohair I think of scratchy and furry. I know that's not a popular opinion, lots of people love it, but it's not a yarn I am drawn to.

Cirro is lovely and soft, it can stand on it's own.  No need to be held with another yarn to create a lovely "mohair effect" and it has wonderful visual texture because it's a cotton strand wrapped in gorgeous Alpaca. 

A skein of Cirro seems to last forever! I was skeptical when I saw the number of skeins people were saying they used for a sweater, but they weren't kidding! Stunning colors, not itchy (to me) and easy on the budget!

If you try to imagine what a cloud feels like, then you know how this yarn feels. It weighs NOTHING! It is so light, soft, and fluffy!

For those of you who have problems with mohair (ME! ME! ME!), this is an incredible solution. It is super soft! It has the beautiful halo you expect from mohair without any of the itchiness! 

It can be used held together with another yarn or it does well on it's own due to it being a sport weight yarn. 

It's versatile and truly a game-changer for people with sensitive skin!
