Lightweight, warm, and wonderfully soft — Indiecita Baby Brush Alpaca is a brushed alpaca blend that knits up into the most gorgeous, cloud-like fabric. Perfect for throws, sweaters, and garments where you want that beautiful fluffy halo without the weight. It's also a brilliant match for many of the chunkier Petite Knit patterns, giving you that cosy, oversized look with a fraction of the bulk. Knits on 5.5mm needles as a 14 ply, but blooms beautifully anywhere from 5mm to 10mm — making it a really adaptable yarn for different gauges and fabric weights.

Why Knitters Love It
Lightweight warmth: Baby alpaca is naturally warm without being heavy — ideal for garments you'll actually want to wear all day.
Beautiful halo: The brushed finish gives finished pieces a soft, fluffy texture that's perfect for throws, cardigans, and cosy winter knits.
Incredibly versatile needle range: Knit it on 5mm for a denser, warmer fabric or go up to 10mm for an airy, drapey result — the yarn blooms to fill the stitch beautifully at any gauge.
Huge colour range: 27 colours from classic neutrals to vivid brights, including melange tones for added depth.
A store favourite and one of our best-selling yarns — once you knit with it, you'll understand why.
