About This Yarn
Baby Merino Aran has a simple construction of 2/3.5nm giving 175m (191 yds) per 100g hank. It's a beautifully soft blend of baby alpaca and 21 micron merino wool. Baby Alpaca is one of the most luxurious fibres in the world – incredibly warm, lightweight and strong. It has hypoallergenic properties and contains no lanolin, making it safe to wear for those with skin allergies. Alpaca is said to be three times warmer than sheep wool, with 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.
Care Instructions
Hand wash using a wool detergent, ideally below 30°C. Avoid wringing and twisting. Dry flat – do not sun dry, spin or tumble dry.
