Alpakka Følgetråd is a lace weight, 100% alpaca yarn. This is a great alternative to mohair, for those who do not wish for a pronounced halo. Also works in any lace weight application. 

The secret to Alpakka’s warmth lies in its hollow and breathable fiber. Unlike other materials that trap heat, Alpakka’s breathable nature allows it to keep you warm without making you feel overheated. This means you can wear Alpakka garments in any weather, whether it’s chilly or warm, and still feel comfortable. Additionally, Alpakka fiber does not contain lanolin, making it a great option for those with sensitive skin.

Alpakka is also renowned for its Superfine quality. This term refers to alpaca fiber with a diameter between 25-26 microns, and is considered to be one of the softest alpaca grades used for hand-knitting yarn.

Hand washing with wool specific soap is recommended. Lay Flat to dry.

The garment should be washed separately. For machine washing, we recommend that all wool garments be washed separately on a wool program, to ensure the gentlest treatment. Centrifuge well and dry the garment flat, preferably on top of a towel. Never use a laundry bag when washing hand-knitted wool garments. This creates friction that can cause the garment to felt.
