Skill Level - Easy

Once made, you'll have a lovely warm hat. It's fairly quick to make as the yarn is lovely and thick and you get to use some nice larger needles. Made with our softest alpaca-merino mixed yarn, so it is uber-super soft. The style is a bit the same, so comfortable and easy to wear, and you can knit it longer if you like a longer look.

Supplied with:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • 100gm (175m) Gorgeous Aran made from 50% baby alpaca/50% merino
  • Faux fur pompom
  • Pattern 
  • Optional 5.5mm needles

Baby Merino Aran has a simple construction of 2/3.5nm giving 175m (191 yds) per 100g hank. Its a beautifully soft blend of baby alpaca and 21 micron merino wool. Baby Alpaca is one of the most luxurious fabrics in the world. It is incredibly warm, light weight and strong. It has hypoallergenic properties, it contains no lanolin, which makes the fibre safe to wear if you have skin allergies. Alpaca is said to be three times warmer than sheep wool as the fibres have excellent insulation properties whilst remaining light and breathable. The baby alpaca is combined in equal measure with fine merino giving the yarn more bounce and elasticity.
The merino is mulesing free and comes from South America. The yarn is 100% animal fibre and perfect for dyeing.

Hand wash using a wool detergent ideally below 30C, avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat, do not sun dry, spin or tumble dry.

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.
