Why You’ll Love It

Perfect For
This DK alpaca yarn is ideal for:
- Sweaters & Cardigans – dreamy drape and warmth for wear-able garments.
- Scarves, Shawls & Cowls – soft halo makes every wrap feel luxurious.
- Hats & Beanies – warm, gentle and comfortable against skin.
- Gift-worthy Accessories – perfect for thoughtful handmade presents.
Knitting & Crochet Tips
Because of its brushed texture, stitch definition will be softer – pick patterns where drape and surface mystery are stars, like simple stockinette, garter, or relaxed lace designs. Try slightly larger needles or hooks (5 – 6 mm) for a light, airy fabric, or smaller (4 – 4.5 mm) if you want more structure.
Care Instructions
To keep your finished projects looking beautiful:
• Handwash gently in cool water
• Avoid wringing or twisting
• Lay flat to dry
Proper care protects the delicate alpaca fibres and preserves softness and shape.
Why Choose Baby Alpaca Yarn?
Baby alpaca refers to the finest fibre diameter sourced (not animal age). It’s softer and warmer than many common wool fibres, with a silky drape that elevates garments and accessories alike
