This lace-weight yarn combines baby alpaca softness, merino comfort, and delicate shimmering lurex with cocoon-like polyester accents in lighter blue tones, giving finished knitwear beautiful depth, movement, and interesting character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"564\" data-end=\"977\"\u003eThe yarn has a fluffy, lightweight structure with a rich deep blue base and subtle lighter blue “shishibriki” accents that appear through the fabric like tiny textured highlights. The lurex is softly visible and not overpowering, creating elegant shimmer rather than strong glitter. After washing, the yarn becomes a little bit puffier and fuller, helping soften small uneven stitches and making the fabric look more polished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"1303\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"971\" data-end=\"999\"\u003e▣ Product Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"999\" data-end=\"1002\"\u003e• Manufacturer: Lana Gatto, Italy\u003cbr data-start=\"1035\" data-end=\"1038\"\u003e• Article: ALPACA BRIGHT\u003cbr data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003e• Fiber Content: 40% Baby Alpaca, 36% Polyamide, 18% Merino Wool, 6% Polyester (Lurex)\u003cbr data-start=\"1151\" data-end=\"1154\"\u003e• Yarn Category: Lace\u003cbr data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003e• Yardage: approx. 180 m \/ 196 yd per 25 g (0.88 oz)\u003cbr data-start=\"1231\" data-end=\"1234\"\u003e• Format: Factory-wound balls (25 grams each)\u003cbr data-start=\"1275\" data-end=\"1278\"\u003e• Origin: Made in Italy\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1305\" data-end=\"1498\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1027\"\u003e⌁ Texture \u0026amp; Feel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1027\" data-end=\"1030\"\u003e• Extremely light and super soft\u003cbr data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003e• Rich deep blue base with lighter blue textured accents\u003cbr data-start=\"1121\" data-end=\"1124\"\u003e• Cocoon-like polyester accents (“shishibriki”) add visual texture\u003cbr data-start=\"1190\" data-end=\"1193\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003e• Gentle fluffy halo from alpaca\u003cbr data-start=\"1225\" data-end=\"1228\"\u003e• Soft shimmering lurex throughout the strand\u003cbr data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1276\"\u003e• Becomes puffier and fuller after washing\u003cbr data-start=\"1318\" data-end=\"1321\"\u003e• Very forgiving in finished fabric — helps soften small uneven stitches\u003cbr data-start=\"1393\" data-end=\"1396\"\u003e• Beautiful on its own and excellent as a companion yarn\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"308\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"30\"\u003e⚑ Why This Yarn Is Special\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"30\" data-end=\"33\"\u003eThis yarn combines softness, lightness, shimmer, and texture in a way that immediately gives projects a high-end look.
