Collection: Alpaca Yarn

Alpaca yarn is a fantastic choice for those who want an exclusive and soft knitting or crocheting material. It comes from the alpaca, an animal from the Andes Mountains, which is known for its warm and silky wool. Alpaca yarn has quickly gained popularity among knitters and crocheters all over the world. It is not only beautiful, but also practical with a number of unique properties.

Nature's own luxury fibers

Alpaca wool is known for being incredibly soft and lightweight. This makes the yarn an ideal choice for both knitting and crocheting projects. The wool is also warmer than sheep's wool and weighs less. Alpaca wool is naturally hypoallergenic as it does not contain lanolin, which many people can react to allergically. This makes it a good choice for those with sensitive skin or allergies.

One of the most remarkable properties of alpaca wool is its ability to regulate body temperature. The wool is both insulating and breathable, making it ideal for both summer and winter projects. The yarn feels luxurious against the skin and retains its suppleness, even after multiple washes.

Alpaca wool is also naturally more water-repellent than other fibers, such as sheep's wool. This means you can create clothes that will keep you dry and warm, even in damp conditions. This type of wool is also known for its durability. Its strength and versatility make it ideal for creative projects where both functionality and beauty are the focus.

The softest quality

Baby alpaca yarn is something special. It comes from the finest fibers from alpacas, making it extraordinarily soft. It feels almost like silk against the skin, making it ideal for clothing and accessories worn close to the body. Although the name suggests that it comes only from baby alpacas, it actually refers to the fineness of the fibers, and not the age of the animal.

Baby alpaca is highly sought after for its warmth and comfort. It is a lightweight yarn that doesn't feel heavy or bulky, yet provides incredible thermal insulation. It is a perfect choice for luxurious shawls, hats and sweaters. If you are looking for a yarn that combines beauty and functionality, this yarn is an obvious choice.

Although wool fibers are fine and delicate, they are also incredibly durable, allowing even the finest and thinnest knitting projects to last over time.

Light as a cloud

Brushed alpaca yarn is another popular variation of alpaca wool. It is distinguished by its fluffy and airy texture, which gives it a soft and slightly shaggy appearance. The yarn is often blended with other fibers such as polyamide or nylon to give it extra strength. Brushed alpaca yarn is incredibly light and warm, making it ideal for large, bulky projects.

This type of alpaca yarn is perfect for creating a lightweight, yet warm and comfortable look. Brushed alpaca can also be used to create a beautiful, dreamy texture in your creations. It is an ideal option if you want a soft and airy look that is also practical.

Another advantage of brushed alpaca is that it gives a luxurious and sophisticated look to even simple knitting projects. A perfect choice if you want to create a creation with a little extra texture.

Alpaca wool mixed with other fibers

Alpaca wool is amazing in itself. But it can also be combined with other fibers to achieve different textures and properties. One of the most popular blends is alpaca with silk, like our exclusive Alpaca Silk . This combination creates a yarn that has both the warmth of alpaca and the shine and softness of silk. With this luxurious yarn, you are perfectly equipped to knit Sweater No. 28. This special blend gives your creation a fantastic softness. At the same time, it also adds an elegant glossy look, making your sweater both light and sophisticated.

Another popular blend is alpaca with merino wool. When combined with alpaca, as in the Alpaca Peak yarn quality, you get a yarn that is both soft, durable and slightly stretchy. It is perfect for projects where you want a little extra stretch, such as sweaters and cardigans.

Alpaca yarn can be beautifully combined with cotton. This blend adds a freshness and lightness, while the alpaca retains its soft and luxurious feel. Our Cotton Cloud yarn quality is ideal for creating the popular Rikke sweater , which is both stylish and comfortable.
