This blend of fibers produces a very lovely, soft and drapey yarn. It is especially well suited for shawls and, if you knit sweaters — which you can certainly do — be aware that it may stretch 2 - 3 cm in length after some wear. Even though it is a very soft yarn, if you are allergy-prone you should knit a swatch and wear it against your skin to test your tolerance. Alpaca fibers can be tricky for some people, even when they are soft.
We work extensively with photo editing of our products and do our best to present the most true-to-life image of the yarn. However, please note that colors may vary depending on the screen you view the images on.
