Soft, warm & incredibly smooshy, Lanalpaca is a blend of baby alpaca & Merino wool. This modern boucle has texture galore & knits into huggable sweaters, hats, mittens & cowls. It is also a fun yarn to combine with other yarns in projects for a cool take on "mixed media." The yarn comes in a perfect array of colors & knits up quickly on size US 11-15 needles. Urth Yarns also plants a tree in Africa for every skein of yarn sold!
