yarn information

Alpaca fibre is celebrated for its exceptional softness and elegant flow, offering a texture akin to sheep’s wool yet surpassing it in warmth, gentleness, and being non-irritating to the skin.

Alpaca wool offers a superior alternative to traditional wool, boasting greater warmth and a lighter feel, all without the presence of lanolin. This natural wool grease, common in regular sheep’s wool, contributes to its ability to repel water. Despite lacking lanolin, alpaca wool still possesses water-resistant qualities. Additionally, its lanolin-free nature renders it highly hypoallergenic, making it an excellent choice for those with sensitive skin.

Yarns made from Alpaca or blended with Alpaca fibres are ideal for crochet and knitting, providing clear stitch patterns that enhance both knitting and crocheting creations. These yarns are particularly suited for garments intended to be worn directly against the skin due to their luxurious feel.

Care Instructions

Hand wash using a mild wool detergent, ideally below 30°C, avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat out of direct sunlight, do not spin or tumble dry.
