Alpaga
per 50 g skein · 189 yd
Alpaca wool is a comfortable, soft, and durable material that does not pill and ages very well. We love its slightly hairy texture and its wide range of colors. Easy to care for, it is a material suitable for both the very young and the older ones. This Alpaca yarn can be knitted single, double, or mixed with a mohair yarn for extreme softness.
