We’re so pleased to have five new colors in Fibre Co. Acadia!
Fibre Co. Acadia:
- DK weight
- 60% merino, 20% alpaca, 20% silk
- 145 yards/50 grams
- hand wash, lay flat to dry
- $17.50 each
These new colors brighten up the Acadia color palette considerably, and play well with the more muted shades we already had on hand.
Acadia has long been a favorite yarn in our DK weight section, especially for projects where softness is key and some drape is welcome. The silk slubs takes the dye differently than the other fibers, giving most colorways a rustic, tweedy appearance, which belies its luxuriously soft hand.
Garments knit with Acadia have a mix of structure and drape. We have a couple of samples knit in Acadia at the shop so you can see and feel this in person; look for the Churchmouse “Easy Folded Poncho” and “Quaking Aspen”shawl next time you’re here.
Here are some patterns for two or more colors of Acadia, perfect for mixing and matching new shades and old!
- “Pressed Flowers,” by Amy Christoffers – triangular shawl with mosaic flower motif
- “Tincture,” by Andrea Mowry – mosaic hat
- “Pātikitiki Hat,” by Francoise Danoy – colorwork hat and cowl
- “Copenhagen calling,” by Isabell Kraemer – 2 color mosaic and lace cowl
- “Mended Plaid Cowl,” by Jamie Lomax – stranded and textured cowl
Come by to give Acadia a squeeze and plan your next project!

Hi Jasey! The pattern on the right in this picture is the Churchmouse “Easy Folded Poncho,” which takes 7 skeins of Fibre Co. Acadia. Let me know if I can answer any other questions or help with an order!
