Alpaca

Soft enough to press against your cheek

There's a particular kind of softness to alpaca, the sort that makes you want to press a skein against your cheek before you've even decided what to make with it.

Alpaca fibre has a lovely natural halo and a warmth that doesn't feel heavy, with a drape that suits everything from a soft cowl to a full jumper. It's low in lanolin too, which tends to make it a comfortable choice for anyone who finds wool a little scratchy against the skin. We've gathered a range of alpaca and alpaca-blend yarns here, sourced thoughtfully from small mills and independent dyers, in tones from natural undyed shades to something a little more vivid.
