How the yarn behaves

Soft superfine alpaca paired with highland wool, sold in twisted hanks. The alpaca gives softness and a quiet halo; the wool adds memory, structure and stitch definition. Knits up clean and bouncy on larger needles — works for cables, Fair-Isle, intarsia and felted projects. Hand dyes well into colourwork. Hand wash cool and dry flat. Available in solid and heathered melange colours that suit stranded colourwork especially.
