Comments about Araucania Yarns Araucania Ruca 100% Sugarcane Yarn - Teal, Grey, Tan #09:
I've used this yarn both knitted and crocheted for scarves and an adorable baby cap and each color choice was beautiful and never the same as some hand dyed yarn can be. It doesn't make stripes especially if you used two skeins at a time, alternating at the beginning of every other row.
I just love this yarn, and hope there will be more color choices (darker shades) soon. It's very heavy when knitted into just a scarf, but I can see a vest or tank top that wouldn't drag you down!
