An incredibly soft yarn, made from a blend of baby alpaca and silk.
Baby alpaca is not fiber from cute little alpaca babies; it’s the term used for alpaca fiber between 20-23 microns (micrometers) and is one of the finest and softest alpaca grades used for hand-knitting yarn. Combined with the smooth surface of the silk, this softness results in a yarn that feels especially gentle and cool against the skin. Both alpaca and silk have good heat-regulating properties and the silk has a unique moisture-absorbing property. Alpaca fiber does not contain lanolin.
This yarn can be left in it's soft off white shade, or dyed with our line of beginner Natural Dye Kits and Natural Dyes. It takes the dye beautifully. Second Image shows shawl dyed with our Indigo Kit.
