Skill Level - Easy

This alpaca wool knit kit uses alpaca yarn from British and Irish farms. It's knitted as a flat panel, and you can choose either single pointed needles or circular needles...which can be helpful, just because it's a wide project and circulars hold the knitting easily. 

This shawl is the best selling kit in 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 - 168 x 34 cm / Large - 220 x 38 cm

Kit includes:

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • Standard Size: 150g (337m) Large size: 200g (450m) (LARGE) Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep
  • Pattern 
  • Optional Extra - 4.5mm circular, or 4.5mm x 35cm long single pointed needles

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.

I bought the eyelet shawl kit as a Christmas gift. It arrived promptly and the yarn is gorgeous. I’m sure my recipient will be delighted with it.

Great kit

I have bought this as a Christmas present, so can’t really comment on the kit. But loved the yarn colours and the kit choices.

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!
