Skill Level - Easy

This alpaca wool knit kit uses alpaca yarn from British and Irish farms. Seen here in Lunar Grey and available in a wide range of other alpaca colours. We love this airy scarf, partly because it looks so great, and also because it knits up so quickly.

It is from our Restful range, which is intended for stress-free easy knitting that means you can focus on the conversation, the movie or just whatever you need to be thinking about. Each pattern is simple to work with, and has been tested on beginners, rusty knitters, and the very accomplished. Everyone reports that the yarn is fabulous soft and lovely to work with and all the feedback is that the styles are very restful to knit, and lovely to wear!

Size: Standard 11 cm x 140 cm

Kit includes:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • 100g (225m) of Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep's wool
  • Optional - 4.5mm needles
  • Pattern for this scarf

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

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.

Perfect wee scarf kit

Hadn’t knitted since I was a teenager so decided to get a starter kit to start all over again. Nothing complicated !! This kit was perfect. Bought the light jade colour. Very pleased with my purchase . Pleased to say once you’ve learned to knit it’s a skill that never leaves you . … now to choose something else

Love,love,love

After the initial confusion over the contents of the kit, immediately resolved, received kit and thoroughly enjoyed knitting with this easy to use top quality wool. I have even ordered some 'made with love' labels to sew on as this scarf will be a gift and already looking for next project

Skinny Scarf

Excellent service throughout. Easy to order and in 2 days it was delivered. Had a quick look felt the beautiful soft wool. Then it was whisked away by my husband to be part of my Christmas presents. I am sure I will be purchasing another kit in the New Year am looking at the shawl. Thank you all for the excellent service.

Hi Susan

Thank you for your lovely review. Did you remember you had bought a knitting kit for your husband to give you? Did you start it on Christmas day? I hope you love making it and wearing it very soon.x

Thrilled to receive my kit

Absolutely gorgeous in the mustard shade, not started it yet but I can see Alpaca becoming an addiction, going to order the sock kit next. The post card was very thoughtful and beautiful Thankyou. 🙂

Mary, thank you so much for taking the time to give us such lovely feedback. It is true that alpaca makes other textiles feel a bit normal, but then I can only ever knit with it, so what do I know! It is good to hear you enjoy it too.x
