Flaggy Meadow Fiber Works and Surino

It looks as if we might be joining forces with Flaggy Meadow Fiber Works, creators of Surino. We are in the development phase, but it looks like we will be producing fine weaving for the fashion scene and developing knitting patterns for kits.


For the past week and the following two weeks we will be testing their yarn, Surino. It's a special blend of US grown Merino and their own Suri Alpacas. I have been knitting with it for a week now and feel I have a good idea about how the yarn works and reacts. I can confadently say that who ever uses this yarn will, more-then-likely, love it. A good, tightly spun yarn is easy to work and does not come apart with the rough use of cables but is giving enough to look lovely as Fair Isle. The colors are earthy at a distance, while close-up there is a variety of shades that add depth and intrest. The yarn is warm, but the coolness of the Suri, adds that extra softness that is unmistakable of that breed. My only complaint (if you can call it such) is that the yarn does have a thick-thin problem and is slightly different from skien to skien. This certainly doesn't seem to be a problem, for the yarn seems to fluff-up and soften with working and I can not tell a difference even after doing Fair Isle. I will certainly give it 4.9 stars out of 5. It's the best yarn to work with the qualities of strengh, softness, forgivness, and beauty.

Nice work Flaggy Meadows.
