The soft and lightweight nature of the baby alpaca fiber, combined with the strength and durability of wool and the stretch and elasticity of nylon, create a versatile and high-quality yarn.
Baby alpaca is prized for its softness and gentle touch, making it ideal for creating garments and accessories that will be close to the skin. The wool content provides added insulation, while the nylon helps to maintain the yarn’s shape and structure. This combination of fibers results in a yarn that is warm, comfortable, and durable, making it perfect for a wide range of projects.

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.
