A Yarn with a Story

Casita is a harmonious meeting of South American fibre heritage and Italian spinning expertise. This refined blend of Suri alpaca and superfine wool, grown in Rio Gallegos, offers softness, warmth and durability, elevated with subtle colour pops scattered throughout each skein.
