As with all Gorgeous alpaca DK kits, it's warm and cosy, but lightweight and breathes well. The alpaca yarn has a small amount of 100% natural sheep's wool blended in, which makes it easy to knit and crochet with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness.

What's so great about alpaca yarn? 

Alpaca yarn is highly valued for it's softness, warmth, and durability.

Let's compare it to sheep's wool

    • The fibres are much finer, and generally longer, than sheep’s wool, which makes them softer and less itchy
    • It contains no lanolin which makes it hypo-allergenic (and also makes it more sustainable as it can be processed at very low temperatures)
    • It also has a natural sheen that gives finished items a luxurious look
    • Both sheep and alpaca fleece is water-repellent, but alpaca also wicks away the moisture
Weight of Yarn #3, DK

Ball Size 50g (112m)

Hand washing: Use lukewarm water and a specialist wool detergent. Hair conditioner in the final rinse will add extra softness. When washing and rinsing squeeze the garment rather than rubbing. Gently squeeze out excess water before rolling in a towel. Lay flat to dry.

Excellent service. I was unsure the colour I had chosen matched the one in their photo. I used the text messaging service and had prompt and helpful replies. I have used Gorgeous Alpacas before the will is as they say gorgeous and their service excellent. I would recommend to my friends and family.

Super soft!

I love the softness of the wool and the sandstone colour. I am new to crochet and this is the third project I have done. I found the video extremely helpful as it clearly explained how to do the different stitches. I love the little kit bag provided which makes the project very portable. I had a problem with the paper pattern, but that was quickly resolved by Emma. She emailed me back within a couple of hours and then sent a lovely little gift as an apology! I would highly recommend Gorgeous Alpaca to fellow crafters, especially if they are just starting out on their crochet journey!

Wonderful soft wool

Delighted with my purchase, very soft next to the skin and non of the itching that can come with some wools

Exemplary customer service …. And great yarn!

This yarn is just wonderful, so soft and cosy. The pattern is straight forward and well written. The customer service is amazing, an email was all that was needed to divert my order to Kent, rather than New Zealand which I had entered in error. Altogether a very satisfactory experience which I shall happily repeat.
