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

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.

The yarn is has a beautiful soft feel and knits up lovely. I will be buying another kit once this one is completed. The delivery was really quick. I just felt that the speckled grey colour was a bit more brown than grey.

A lovley kit

I bought one kit for this lovely moss stitch headband and then two more balls of wool and have made one more headband and used the leftovers with the third ball to make a scarf to match.
I just love the feel of the Alpaca and the colours are beautiful.
I will be looking at more kits without a doubt.

Love this ....

So I am currently on hat number 3 !!! Amazing wool to knit with , I will redo the cable beanie again ( my mistake I should have made it longer ) as I have plenty of wool left & I found it a nice easy pattern to follow . I am sure my sisters will be very happy as they are their birthday presents for next month ....I will no doubt be ordering more wool in the future as I love it , thank you for a great service .....

Lovely yarn (as ever) to work with. The joy of a simple pattern (even though I am an experienced knitter) that gives me the freedom to place the pattern rows where I want. This makes for just the piece of work to knit of an evening - and to look forward to wearing in the coming autumn and winter.
