Knitting Tips:
The brushed finish means this yarn has a lovely halo that softens stitch definition — perfect for simple, elegant designs where drape and texture take centre stage. Try it on slightly larger needles (5-6mm) for a light, airy fabric, or smaller needles (4-4.5mm) for denser warmth. Check our large range of supporting patterns for inspiration!
Why Baby Alpaca?
Baby alpaca isn't from baby animals — it's the finest, softest fibre from the alpaca's first shearing. It's warmer than merino, softer than cashmere, naturally hypoallergenic, and has incredible drape. The brushed finish adds an extra layer of cloud-like softness that makes this yarn an absolute joy to work with.
