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.

Perfect relaxing fabulous

My second ever project (I don’t count cotton dishcloths!) very new knitter- I am really enjoying this and to be honest was a bit scared of stepping away from just plain knit, and increasing stitches etc. The kit is great, I love the project bag and easy instructions. The online videos have helped a lot to increase my confidence and I’m really enjoying the process and proud of my progress. Thank you!

Super, easy kit

I’ve just finished knitting this shawl. It’s super easy to knit, but very effective, looks and feels really lovely.
It’s a present for a friend & im sure she will love it.

Made up the restful textured cowl

I was not certain of the wool colour initially ( gold fleck) but made up it is lovely especially with my chocolate brown coat. Easy pattern, wool made up without splitting. My fourth kit and everyone has replicated the pattern properly.

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.
