Alpaca wool cozy yarn, 89% alpaca superfine
This single-twisted alpaca knitting wool made of alpaca blend yarn for needle size 3 is characterized by its incomparable fluffiness.
Fiber-reinforced with a proportion of synthetic fibers, you have a thin, soft knitted yarn that remains stable and resilient despite its fineness. Similar in texture to mohair yarn, it has a high pile which creates a fluffy look and provides extra warmth.
Let yourself be pampered by our alpaca CUDDLE YARN: The particularly cuddly wearing comfort, optical properties such as the puffy texture and technical advantages such as moisture regulation speak for themselves. Because: As a hollow fiber, alpaca has temperature-regulating properties and high insulating power. Since the fleece, unlike new wool, contains hardly any lanolin (wool fat), it is particularly appreciated by allergy sufferers. Thanks to the extremely smooth fiber surface, alpaca hardly pills or felts.
APU KUNTUR alpaca wool is manufactured in Peru under strict human-ecological requirements. Only the finest fibers meet our high quality standards and are used for our yarn.

Natural fiber yarns can sometimes "bleed" - this means that the yarn can still have residual pigments from the dyeing, which then come off and rub off during knitting or the first wash. Experience has shown that when this happens, it is mainly with dark or strong colors. We therefore recommend washing the yarn or the textile knitted from it separately in the first wash, after which there should be no further "bleeding".
This yarn is ideal for knitting work that needs to be particularly fine and fluffy, e.g. accessories such as cuffs, hats, hoods, but also for items such as knitted outerwear, knitted coats, knitted jackets, knitted sweaters, wool sweaters for women, children and for men.
