The wool

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
