My 100% Brushed Suri Alpaca is a soft-as-a-cloud, luxury base.

Suri is a rarer alpaca fibre sourced from the Peruvian Andes, from smaller farms whose way of life is their animals. The mill works closely with the farmers. Alpaca farming also has a low environmental impact.

Alpaca contains no lanolin and is hypoallergenic. This makes this yarn suitable for baby knits and people with sensitive skin. It therefore also makes an excellent substitute for mohair and any patterns that recommend mohair.

Alpaca also has unique thermal properties because of the microscopic air pockets found in the fibre. It does not pill, is smooth and silky and extremely warm, but breathes brilliantly with great moisture resistance and is naturally flame-retardant.

This yarn is perfect for shawls, scarfs, tops and jumpers and any product where you would like to have a fluffy appearance. It is suitable for garments for all ages.

Please treat this delicate yarn with care. I would recommend hand washing your finished product in cool water and laying it to dry flat. Do not tumble dry.
