Our lovely hand-dyed Fluffy Alpaca Mix has an exciting and slightly unusual fiber composition. It consists of 38% baby alpaca, 25% non-superwashed merino and 37% pima cotton, with a yardage of 400 metres/100g.
The baby alpaca wool comes from the very first shearing, which is the absolute finest and softest. The Merino wool is non-superwashed, which means that the wool has retained its many good properties. Pima cotton is a term for cotton that contains the longest and softest cotton fibers. All in all, this unique combination of fibers makes Fluffy Alpaca Mix an exciting, ultra-soft, durable and fluffy quality.
It’s perfect if you’re looking for a light and fluffy/hairy yarn that doesn’t shed. If you hold the yarn double, you can achieve the same gauge as our Fat Mohair.
Typically, you want to knit a yarn with a yardage of 400 meters on knitting needles 3-3,5 mm, but Fluffy Alpaca Mix can easily be knitted on knitting needles 4-5 mm, which makes it very durable to use. I have knitted a sweater in size L for myself on needles 4.5 mm, and only used 230g of yarn.
The quality is perfect for all types of clothing as well as hats, scarves and much more.

NOTE. Please be aware that the yarn is hand-dyed in small batches, and colors may vary from one dye lot to another.
