Mirasol Yarns > Hacho Hacho This 100% merino wool yarn is hand-dyed like Koigu and Claudia Handpaints but features a "springier" twist and a slightly heavier gauge (5.5 sks/inch on US 6). It is lovely & soft and comes in an interesting range of color combos. Like the other Mirasol yarns (which purchase fibers from the Mallkini ranch which pays a fair wage to its' alpaca raisers) a percentage of the profits from this yarn go back to building and sustaining a school in this poverty stricken area of Peru. 137 yards per skein. The princess waist 3/4 sleeve cardigan shown below is from the Mirasol pattern book and the shawl shown below (click on it for a clearer image) is a Fiber Trends pattern. $7.95/ball
