How the yarn behaves

Merino blended with alpaca — wool gives memory and stitch definition, alpaca adds softness and a quiet halo. Drapes more than pure merino but holds shape better than pure alpaca. Strong fit for everyday sweaters, cardigans and accessories where soft hand with structure both matter. Hand wash cool; not superwash, so avoid agitation.
