How the yarn behaves

Undyed alpaca sold in natural fleece shades — no dyes, no bleach. Loose ply gives garments lots of drape and a soft natural feel; tighter gauges give denser fabric, looser gauges bloom open. Often knits lighter than its label, so swatching matters before committing to a size. Some shedding while working settles after blocking. Strong fit for cosy garments, accessories and naturalistic colourwork. Hand wash cool and dry flat.
