Spun from 100% alpaca, Pure Alpaca is a luxuriously soft, DK weight yarn. The 4-ply strand delivers beautiful stitch definition, while the alpaca fibers give knits a glowy, diffused halo. We love this yarn for delicious little knits such as mitts, cowls, scarves & wraps. Choose from a curated palette of earthy tones & pops of color for warm, cozy accessories.
