FLUFFY ALPACA MIX <\/strong><\/h3>\n

(formerly known as “Den uventede”)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s perfect if you\u2019re looking for a light and fluffy\/hairy yarn that doesn\u2019t shed. If you hold the yarn double, you can achieve the same gauge as our Fat Mohair.<\/a><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The quality is perfect for all types of clothing as well as hats, scarves and much more.<\/p>\n

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