How the yarn behaves

Alpaca paired with SEAQUAL polyester recycled from ocean and river plastic. The alpaca brings softness, warmth and a slight halo; the recycled polyester adds strength and keeps the yarn reasonable for a luxury-feel yarn. Drapes well with limited memory typical of alpaca. Soft enough for shawls, lightweight garments and accessories. The sustainability angle is the headline reason to pick it. Hand wash cool and dry flat.
