A luxurious Italian yarn crafted from a refined blend of ⌁ 70% Baby Alpaca and ⌁ 30% Extrafine Merino Wool, this quality stands out for its exceptional softness, warmth, and comfort. Baby alpaca fiber is sourced from the finest fleece — either from young alpacas or the softest areas of the adult coat — resulting in a yarn that is lightweight, breathable, and naturally insulating.
The addition of extrafine merino wool brings gentle elasticity and structure, making the yarn easier to work with and helping finished garments hold their shape beautifully. Cultivated, spun, dyed, and packaged in Tollegno, Italy, this yarn reflects the long-standing Italian tradition of producing premium natural fibers for elegant, wearable knitwear.
This yarn is especially well suited for cozy sweaters, scarves, hats, and garments worn close to the skin. It performs equally well in simple stockinette and textured stitches, offering a plush, inviting fabric with a soft halo and refined appearance.
