Ode is 100% baby alpaca, grown and spun in Peru and dyed in subtle shades that bring depth to your weaving.
Gist Yarn's Ode is melange-dyed, where different colours and shades are blended together, creating a rich, unique hue that imparts depth to your weaving. A generous sett and light touch when weaving means projects weave up quickly on both rigid heddle and multi-shaft looms. This lofty, luxurious yarn blooms into spectacularly soft scarves and shawls when wet-finished, and can be used with Array for home decor overshot projects or blankets and large garments that may require a bit of structure.
