Join me as we hand-paint a skein of sparkling, luxury baby Alpaca, silk, cashmere blend yarn to resemble a night sky ablaze with the Aurora Borealis. Glittering stellina fibers (super soft and not at all irritating, even on baby-sensitive skin) are spun into the yarn giving it a glittery, shimmering sparkle.
