How the yarn behaves

Pure undyed baby alpaca in the natural shades the fibre comes off the animal — creams, soft greys, browns and black. Very soft and warm, with the typical alpaca characteristics: lots of drape, limited memory, and a subtle halo that develops with wear. Knits into garments that flow rather than hold structure, so favour shapes that skim the body. Watch tension — too loose and the fabric grows; tighter swatches keep shape. Hand wash cold and dry flat; reshape gently while damp.
