Natural, Soft and Non-Itchy Alpaca Wool

It is a natural fibre known for its softness, lightness and excellent warmth. As it contains no lanolin, it is non-itchy and feels pleasant even on sensitive skin, making it a very comfortable choice for knitting warm garments in autumn and winter, both for knitting and crochet.

It is a light yet very warm fibre, with a lovely drape and a silky feel. We select premium-quality alpaca wool yarns, all OEKO-TEX certified, guaranteeing the absence of harmful substances in the yarn.

How to Choose Alpaca Yarns According to Your Project

To choose the right alpaca yarn, look at the weight and the wool and alpaca blend. Alpaca adds softness and warmth; when combined with other fibres, it gains body, elasticity or greater resistance for everyday wear. This helps you choose the yarn according to the garment you want to make. If you are unsure which material to choose, you can compare it with other yarn compositions.

Among the different types of alpaca wool is baby alpaca, the finest and softest fibre from the animal, ideal for garments worn next to the skin. Some blends combine alpaca with merino wool, which adds elasticity. Our selection mainly features alpaca yarns in fingering weight, a fine yarn, perfect for lightweight jumpers, shawls and accessories suited to the climate of southern Europe. You can use alpaca wool for both knitting and crochet.
