I developed Color By Kristin with one of the world's finest spinning mills in Peru. It is a blend of 50% Wool, 25% Mohair, and 25% Alpaca fibers. The wool is for resilience, durability and warmth. The mohair adds a brilliance and sheen to the incredible colors. The alpaca adds softness and drape.

It is available in 26 gorgeous colors that work well together. Admittedly Color by Kristin does not look very special in the ball - it is a worsted weight yarn spun of three plies. BUT when you put it on your needles or your crochet hook, you will be over the moon with delight. It glides through your fingers and produces the most luxurious fabric.

Use Color By Kristin for Fair Isle colorwork, for cables, for garter stitch and stockinette stitch. It also felts gorgeously. I hope it will become your favorite yarn and blend as it has become mine. Check out my PDF Knitting Pattern page for all kinds of knit and crochet projects.

Color By Kristin is the same exact yarn as my former yarn Julia which was distributed by Westminster Fibers/Nashua Handknits. It is spun by the same spinning mill and dyed by the same dyers. It was discontinued by Westminster Fibers when the Nashua Handknits Division was closed.

You can use my Color By Kristin for all the Julia Patterns. Both of my recent books - Color By Kristin and Kristin Knits - feature Julia. Substitute Color by Kristin. You will get the same results.
