I love this yarn from the Fibre Company.
Called Acadia, it is simply delightful. Here is how the Fibre Company describes it:
Acadia is an absolutely beautiful, completely original and custom designed 2-ply yarn with a rustic look and soft hand. A subtle tweed effect created by the silk noil is combined with a heathered base and then overdyed in the duotones we are known for, creating incredible depth of color.
Yum!
The yarn is made up of 60% merino wool, 20% baby alpaca + 20% silk and has 145 yds/50 gram skein. Can't you just imagine how it feels?
The usual gauge listed on the skein is for 21-23 sts = 4 inches on US 5-6, so plan from that.

This colorway offered on this page is named Asparagus and is a rich spring green, with the silk taking the dye somewhat differently than the rest so its "slubs" are a bit lighter.
Beautiful!
This will make for some amazingly delicious knitting.
