This alpaca wool knit kit uses alpaca wool from British and Irish alpaca farms. The cowl uses a great stitch: so easy, but so effective! We love it, partly because it looks so great, and also because it knits up so quickly. It's 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: Circumference: 106cm(42 inches) Length: 14cm (5.5 inches)

  • Cotton alpaca project bag
  • Standard 100g (225m) of Gorgeous DK yarn made from 75% alpaca/25% sheep
  • Pattern for this cowl
  • Optional Extra - 4.5mm x 60cm circular needles and stitch marker

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.

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.
