Azapa
This is a wonderful yarn in a chunky weight. It is an unplyed wool, with a tweed look, and is kettle dyed, which means the colour is not even all the way through. also, some skeins are lighter in colour than others. If the colour difference bothers you, I recommend knitting from 2 skeins at the time to blend.
30% alpaca, 15% silk, 40% merino wool, 10% donegal
Knits to 14 sts and 20rs per 10cm/4" on 6mm needles
180 m per 100gr ball
handwash cool, dry flat.

This is a fabulous dk weight yarn made from sugar cane.
It is made with the same method as viscose/rayon, but is a lot lighter than other similar type yarns I've seen.
100% sugar viscose.
Knits to 22 sts per 4"/10cm on 4 mm needles
240 m per 100 gr skein
handwash cool, dry flat
I used 4 skeins for a size large short sleeve top, and had enough left over to have made 3/4 length sleeves.
alternate skeins when knitting to prevent colour pooling
