Alpaca Silk – Amazonas Peru (20)

Alpaca Silk is an extraordinarily fabulous yarn from Peru. It consists of 70% alpaca and 30% silk, a match made in heaven if you ask us. The silky-smooth silk adds a slightly shiny look to the yarn and combined with the long, warm alpaca-fibers, it makes the yarn extra durable. Silk Alpaca is a dream to wear and it’s perfect for warm and soft knitting for all kinds of clothing such as shawls, hats, and other accessories. This lightweight yarn adds a beautiful drape to any project. You can also combine the yarn with other yarns by adding e.g. a thread of Kid Silk into your work thus making your work extra lightweight. Alpaca Silk is a fabulous luxury on your needles, so enjoy it! The yarn is OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certified (no. 2476-419). Find more information about the certification at https://www.oeko-tex.com/en/ NB: The yarn may contain excess color, and the repeated rubbing from working with the yarn can, unfortunately, result in color transferring from some darker colors. We recommend that you hand wash Alpaca Silk separately.
