This alpaca wool chunky scarf knitting kit uses fabulous chunky alpaca yarn from British and Irish farms. It is super soft and gets rave reviews.  Knitted with single pointed needles and we can include lovely bamboo knitting needles.

Sizes: 18cm x 140cm or 21cm x 120cm

Kit includes:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • 200g (200m) Gorgeous Chunky yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep
  • Pattern
  • Optional 6mm needles

As with all alpaca yarn, this chunky knit is 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 with, and still retains that wonderful alpaca softness. We've chosen a long narrow style for this scarf, but if you prefer shorter and thicker, just add more stitches in multiples of four.

This scarf can be washed by hand or in a machine on a wool wash at 20 degrees.

The Wool

  • Weight: #5, Chunky
  • Blend: 75% Alpaca, 25% Sheep
  • Size:3/3Nm giving 100m per 100g
  • Ball size:50g (50m) 
  • Tension:15 sts x 18 rows = 4"/10cm over stocking stitch with 6mm (US10) 

As with all Gorgeous alpaca Chunky 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.
  • 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

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.

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Natural fibers are biodegradable and decompose naturally, unlike synthetic fibers, which take over 200 years to degrade. During this time, they contribute to landfill waste, release greenhouse gases, and leach toxic chemicals into the environment.

Alpaca material is stain-resistant, which means that it needs less washing and is less likely to get ruined by stains … and alpaca is stain-resistant without having chemicals and coatings added to it to make it so.

Sustainable Fashion Story

Alpaca yarn is naturally wrinkle-resistant, eliminating the need for ironing and reducing energy consumption. This helps lower carbon emissions, with ironing estimated to produce 190 kg of CO₂ per person annually.

Unlike sheep and goats, alpacas graze sustainably by trimming grass instead of uprooting it. This allows the grass to regrow naturally, preserving the soil and supporting healthy ecosystems.
