Montera
50% Llama • 50% Wool

This single-ply yarn is a lovely blend of 50% llama and 50% wool. It is soft yet strong and knits up quickly at a gauge of 3½-4 sts per inch. Montera is available in 100 gram hanks in a variety of heathered colors and even more solid colors.

Montera has been part of the Classic Elite family of yarns for a long time. The 50/50 blend of wool and llama fibers is soft, fuzzy and warm, and comes in 45 colors that range from muted to rich. Our newest booklet, Winter Solstice, has five new designs in this classic blend.

Clockwise from top left, Tropic of Capricorn, a pair of motorcycle-style gloves by Talitha Kuomi; Dusk is a plaid scarf with the vertical stripes added last for easy knitting; Saturnalia by Mercedes Tarasovich-Clark is a classic V-neck cardigan with vine lace columns; Evenfall, a felted bag made with striped mitered squares; and Dawn, a slouchy hat with crown decreases worked with flower-shaped cables.
