Our most popular lightweight DK alpaca wool sourced from British and Irish alpaca farms. It's gorgeous to knit and crochet with, as our many reviews can testify. The blend is 75% alpaca/25% sheep. No animals are hurt in the process, and indeed are happy to be sheared in late Spring every year.

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
Blend 75% alpaca 25% sheep
Size: 4/9Nm giving 225m (245 yards) per 100g
Ball Size 50g (112m)
Tension 21 stitches s x 27 rows = 4"/10cm over stocking stitch with 4.5mm (UK 7, US 7)

Washing machines: Modern machines with delicate programme at 20C using a wool delicate detergent. Can be spun at 400 RPM.

Fabulous yarn to knit with

I was given one of your kits to make a cowl, as a Christmas gift. I enjoyed knitting with the yarn so much that I ordered another ball so that I could make a pair of fingerless gloves to wear with the cowl.
