Alpaca and silk all in one glorious lace weight yarn!
We approached Tara recently to see if she could dye her beautiful colours on some Lace yarn for us and these skeins certainly are beautiful!
It is super soft and silky making it suitable for lightweight lace shawls, I already have plenty of patterns in mind.

Irish Artisan Yarn was launched by Tara Osborough who is an award winning textile designer with many years experience in the industry.
The colours used are greatly influenced by the wonderful Irish Landscapes where Tara grew up and where her family still live.
All yarns are hand dyed and painted. Tara uses some luxurious bases such as Alpaca silk which are wonderful for hand made garments / shawls.
