This airy, brushed blend of baby alpaca and merino with Nylon “Comfort” creates a soft, stretchy, and lightweight fabric with gentle volume, excellent resilience, and modern wearability. Best suited for 3–5 strands for garments, or single strand for machine knitting and delicate lace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"655\" data-end=\"1038\"\u003eThis yarn feels almost weightless in the hand. It is soft, slightly elastic, and breathable, making it especially suitable for garments worn close to the skin. The fine animal fibers provide softness and warmth, while the Nylon “Comfort” component adds essential structure, stretch, and memory, helping finished garments maintain their shape over time rather than growing or sagging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1398\"\u003e▣ \u003cstrong data-start=\"1042\" data-end=\"1068\"\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1068\" data-end=\"1071\"\u003e• Manufacturer: Filati Be.Mi.Va, Italy\u003cbr data-start=\"1109\" data-end=\"1112\"\u003e• Article: BABY 20\u003cbr data-start=\"1130\" data-end=\"1133\"\u003e• Fiber Content: 22% Baby Alpaca, 28% Merino, 50% Polyamide\u003cbr data-start=\"1192\" data-end=\"1195\"\u003e• Yarn Category: Lace \/ Extra-Fine\u003cbr data-start=\"1229\" data-end=\"1232\"\u003e• Yarn Count: 1\/20000\u003cbr data-start=\"1253\" data-end=\"1256\"\u003e• Yardage: approx. 2000 m \/ 2187 yd per 100 g (3.52 oz)\u003cbr data-start=\"1311\" data-end=\"1314\"\u003e• Formats: Balls (BY DEFAULT) or Cones (PLEASE PURCHASE)\u003cbr data-start=\"1370\" data-end=\"1373\"\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1400\" data-end=\"1677\"\u003e⌁ \u003cstrong data-start=\"1402\" data-end=\"1420\"\u003eTexture \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1423\"\u003e• Ultra-light and breathable\u003cbr data-start=\"1451\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003e• Soft with gentle stretch and flexibility\u003cbr data-start=\"1496\" data-end=\"1499\"\u003e• Light volume despite extremely fine structure\u003cbr data-start=\"1546\" data-end=\"1549\"\u003e• Smooth and comfortable against the skin\u003cbr data-start=\"1590\" data-end=\"1593\"\u003e• Airy, modern, and easy to wear\u003cbr data-start=\"1625\" data-end=\"1628\"\u003e• Brushed, fluffy surface with a delicate bloom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1679\" data-end=\"1936\"\u003e⚑ \u003cstrong data-start=\"1681\" data-end=\"1709\"\u003eWhy This Yarn Is Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1709\" data-end=\"1712\"\u003eBABY 20 is an incredibly light yarn with real character. The blend of baby alpaca and merino provides softness and warmth, while the 50% Nylon “Comfort” gives the yarn a unique combination of stretch, memory, and resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1938\" data-end=\"2280\"\u003eThis balance makes it different from traditional lace yarns. Instead of feeling fragile or unstable, the fabric has elasticity and recovery, allowing it to bounce back after being stretched or compressed. This significantly reduces the risk of garments growing or losing shape over time — a common issue with very soft alpaca or merino yarns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2282\"
